A Todo Corazon

Alberto Cortez's song 'A Todo Corazon' is a poignant exploration of rebirth and renewal. The lyrics convey a deep sense of returning to life and love after enduring significant hardships. The repeated phrase 'A todo corazón' (With all my heart) underscores the intensity and sincerity of this return. Cortez speaks of coming back 'aterido de dudas y tinieblas' (frozen with doubts and darkness), indicating a period of profound struggle and uncertainty. This sets the stage for a narrative of overcoming adversity and finding solace in love and life once more.

The song's verses describe a journey from desolation to hope. Cortez mentions 'expulsar de mi alma el desabrigo' (expelling the desolation from my soul), suggesting a cleansing or purging of past pains. The imagery of returning from a desert, 'regreso del desierto, estoy sediento' (I return from the desert, I am thirsty), symbolizes a thirst for life and emotional fulfillment. This metaphorical desert represents a barren period in the singer's life, and his return signifies a reawakening and a renewed desire to embrace life fully.

Cortez's lyrics also emphasize the importance of love as a sanctuary. He speaks of finding a 'guarida' (shelter) in love, where dreams can be protected and nurtured. This idea of love as a refuge is central to the song's message. The final verses, 'vuelvo airoso después de la batalla' (I return victorious after the battle), highlight a triumphant return, with renewed senses and a fresh perspective on life. The song concludes on a hopeful note, with the singer expressing joy and a newfound emotional vitality, 'te traigo mi emoción recién nacida' (I bring you my newly born emotion), signifying a complete and heartfelt return to life and love.
