Volvera

The song 'Volverá' by Alfredo Olivas is a poignant reflection on the inevitability of change and the enduring nature of certain feelings, despite the passage of time and the transformation of circumstances. The lyrics describe a series of events and situations that will return or continue as part of the cycle of life, such as the daily routine of alarms and shaving, the environmental issues like smog and melting ice caps, and societal norms like the resurgence of love as a trend. However, the refrain 'Pero tú y yo no, pero nosotros no' (But you and I won't, but we won't) emphasizes that the relationship between the speaker and their loved one will not resume, setting a tone of resignation and acceptance of this reality.

The song also touches on personal emotions and the struggle with the aftermath of a lost relationship. The singer mentions the return of uncertainty, the haunting presence of 'what could have been,' and the anticipation of forgetting. These lines convey a deep sense of longing and the difficulty of moving on from a past love. The mention of a wedding, presumably the loved one's, adds a layer of personal anguish, highlighting the singer's struggle with the idea of their beloved with someone else.

Despite the acceptance of the end of the relationship, the final verses of the song express a yearning to rekindle the romance. The repetition of 'volveré' (I will return) suggests a hope or desire to reconnect and hold onto the love that once was. This juxtaposition of acceptance and longing creates a complex emotional landscape, where the singer grapples with the reality of change while still being pulled by the gravity of their feelings.
