Longing for a Dream: Arcángel's 'Hace Mucho Tiempo'
Arcángel's song 'Hace Mucho Tiempo' is a romantic ballad that expresses a deep yearning to meet someone who has been an object of desire for a long time. The lyrics convey the artist's fascination and anticipation for a person he has heard many positive things about and has even seen in his dreams. The song is a blend of admiration and fantasy, where the artist's longing has reached a point where he feels a strong connection to someone he has yet to meet in reality.
The song uses rich imagery and metaphors to describe the object of the artist's affection. References to natural wonders like the Northern Lights and historical landmarks like the monuments of Greece and the Great Wall of China serve to elevate the person's beauty and value to that of world treasures. These comparisons not only highlight the person's physical beauty but also their rarity and the profound impact they have on the artist, despite the physical distance between them.
The sensual and intimate tone of the song is enhanced by the use of metaphors such as 'chocolate caliente en el desayuno' (hot chocolate in the morning) and the sun's rays penetrating the window. These images evoke a sense of warmth, comfort, and a personal connection that the artist craves. The repeated chorus emphasizes the artist's desire to finally meet and have this person exclusively for himself, suggesting a deep emotional investment and a hope for a future relationship.
