Miami

Andrés Calamaro's song 'Miami' is a heartfelt ode to a transformative love that has brought joy and meaning to the narrator's life. The lyrics begin by reflecting on a time when the narrator was unaware of this profound love, chasing after other dreams and illusions. The unexpected encounter with the beloved marks a turning point, as the narrator acknowledges the immediate connection and the positive impact this person has had on their life. The phrase 'viniste a saludar' (you came to greet) signifies the simplicity and serendipity of their meeting, which quickly blossoms into a deep and meaningful relationship.

The song continues to celebrate the daily joys of being together, emphasizing the pride and happiness the narrator feels in waking up next to their partner every day. The reference to Miami suggests a place of origin or a significant moment in their relationship, symbolizing a fresh start and the avoidance of past melancholies. The lyrics 'salimos a jugar, mi amor' (we go out to play, my love) evoke a sense of carefree happiness and the rejuvenating power of love.

Calamaro's lyrics also highlight the transformative nature of this love, turning sorrow into poetry and enabling the narrator to achieve what was previously impossible. The gratitude expressed for the partner's trust, intelligence, and beauty underscores the depth of the narrator's feelings. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of the narrator's newfound joy and the continuous awakening brought about by this love. 'Miami' is a celebration of love's ability to heal, transform, and bring unparalleled happiness into one's life.
