Solita

Alejandro Santamaria's song 'Solita' tells a poignant story of a woman embarking on a journey to the city, leaving behind her past and the struggles of her homeland. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of her determination and courage as she sets out alone, with only her suitcase and dreams of conquering the world. This journey is not just physical but also emotional, as she seeks to heal from the heartbreaks she has endured, symbolized by the line 'Que alguien le rompió el corazón más de veinte veces' (Someone broke her heart more than twenty times).

The narrator of the song promises to be a source of comfort and love for her, vowing to 'regaré cada vez que ella me bese' (water it every time she kisses me). This metaphor suggests nurturing and healing, indicating that he wants to help her grow and recover from her past wounds. The repeated assurance that she will no longer be 'sola, solita' (alone, all alone) highlights his commitment to being by her side and providing the support she needs.

The song also touches on themes of resilience and empowerment. The woman is described as coming 'de abajo' (from below), yet she is encouraged to keep pushing forward and not worry about facing hardships alone anymore. The narrator's promise that 'conmigo no vas a pasar trabajo' (with me, you won't have to struggle) reinforces the idea of partnership and mutual support. 'Solita' is a heartfelt ode to love, healing, and the strength found in companionship, capturing the essence of overcoming adversity together.
