Si Es Por Los Dos

In 'Si Es Por Los Dos,' Alex Ubago delves into the depths of love and the lengths one is willing to go to preserve it. The song is a passionate declaration of commitment, where the protagonist refuses to remain silent about his feelings. He would rather face the consequences of his actions than live with the regret of not trying. This sentiment is encapsulated in the lines, 'Prefiero morir a callar lo que siento' (I prefer to die than to keep silent about what I feel) and 'Prefiero perder, que no hacer el intento' (I prefer to lose than not to try). These lines highlight the courage and determination to fight for love, even when the outcome is uncertain.

The recurring theme of taking risks for the sake of love is evident throughout the song. The protagonist is willing to 'doy un salto al vacío' (take a leap into the void) and 'me rindo a la suerte' (surrender to fate) if it means being with his beloved. This imagery of jumping into the unknown symbolizes the vulnerability and bravery required in love. The song also touches on the pain of separation, with lines like 'Muero por verte otra vez en mi vida' (I die to see you again in my life) and 'Cuando no estás, duele más la caída' (When you're not here, the fall hurts more). These lines convey the deep emotional impact of being apart from a loved one.

Ubago's lyrics also paint a picture of a whimsical, almost childlike love, as seen in 'Somos dos niños mirando un cometa' (We are two children watching a comet). This metaphor suggests a sense of wonder and innocence in their relationship, contrasting with the more intense emotions of fear and longing. The repetition of 'dando mil vueltas' (going around in circles) emphasizes the cyclical nature of their love, filled with ups and downs but always returning to each other. The song ultimately portrays love as a powerful force that drives individuals to take risks, face their fears, and cherish the moments they have together.
