Cada día

Alex Ubago's song 'Cada día' is a poignant exploration of loss, longing, and the enduring hope for a loved one's return. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the emotional turmoil experienced after a significant other leaves. Ubago uses powerful metaphors to describe his inner state, comparing it to a 'disordered room' and a 'September 11th in New York,' evoking chaos and devastation. This imagery sets the tone for the song, highlighting the depth of his despair.

The chorus reveals the profound impact of the departure on his daily life. Mornings are described as 'sad,' and nights as 'eternal companions,' emphasizing the relentless passage of time filled with sorrow. The absence of music in the air and stars that represent unreachable dreams further illustrate the void left behind. Despite this, Ubago's unwavering hope shines through as he vows to wait every day for the possibility of reconciliation, promising a future free of nightmares and obstacles.

Ubago's use of nautical imagery, such as a 'boat that stopped sailing' and 'mermaids that stopped singing,' symbolizes a life that has lost its direction and joy. The recurring theme of waiting and searching for traces of the lost love, like 'your scent among memories' and 'your voice in the silence,' underscores the persistence of his love and the pain of separation. The song concludes with a bittersweet acceptance that even if the loved one never returns, the memories and the hope will remain a part of him, illustrating the enduring nature of true love and the human capacity for resilience in the face of heartache.
