Golpeando El Corazon

Arkania's song 'Golpeando El Corazon' delves into the profound emotions of loss and longing. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone embarking on a journey, burdened by a 'pequeño equipaje' or small luggage, symbolizing the emotional baggage they carry. This journey is not just physical but also metaphorical, representing the path one takes when dealing with the absence of a loved one. The slow pace of the walk signifies a reluctance to move on, a desire to hold on to memories and not lose sight of the past.

The imagery of asking the moon for guidance and being told that the person can no longer be found adds a layer of mysticism and sorrow. The moon, often a symbol of constancy and guidance, here becomes a bearer of bad news, indicating the finality of the separation. The search for 'pequeñas estrellas para deshojar' or small stars to pluck suggests a futile attempt to find solace or answers in the vastness of the universe, highlighting the depth of the protagonist's despair.

The chorus brings the emotional climax, where the protagonist wakes up each morning with the sensation that their loved one is still beside them. The night breaks, and the silence's echo 'golpeando el corazon' or 'hitting the heart' underscores the pain of their absence. The plea for just one more minute together encapsulates the universal human desire to hold on to fleeting moments with those we love. Arkania's poignant lyrics and evocative imagery make 'Golpeando El Corazon' a powerful exploration of love, loss, and the enduring hope for reunion.
