No Corras Mas Que El Tiempo

In 'No Corras Mas Que El Tiempo,' Algiva delves into the intricate relationship between time, love, and memory. The song opens with a reflection on living in the past and the elusive nature of the future. The lyrics suggest that while we often place our hopes in the future, it remains uncertain and distant, leaving us to grapple with the present moment. This theme is encapsulated in the lines, 'mañana que no viene y el futuro que se retrasa,' highlighting the frustration of waiting for a future that never seems to arrive.

The song uses vivid metaphors to describe the transient nature of love. Algiva compares love to a flower that, despite its beauty, is destined to wither and die. The imagery of roses losing their scent and their thorns causing pain serves as a poignant reminder that love, like all things, is subject to the ravages of time. The repeated refrain, 'no corras más que el tiempo,' urges the listener to live in the present and cherish the moments they have, rather than rushing ahead or dwelling on the past.

Algiva also touches on the idea of self-awareness and personal growth. The lyrics recount a journey from naivety to realization, as the narrator reflects on their past mistakes and the lessons learned. The line, 'de que el amor es ciego, me burlaba y me reia,' signifies a moment of introspection and the acknowledgment of love's blinding nature. Ultimately, the song is a call to nurture the present, to 'echa leña a lo nuestro,' and to recognize that memories and love are fleeting, urging us to appreciate and cultivate what we have before it fades away.
