Tú En Las Montañas y Yo En El Mar

The song 'Tú En Las Montañas y Yo En El Mar' by Arranquemos Del Invierno paints a vivid picture of a love separated by natural barriers. The lyrics tell the story of two lovers who are kept apart by the formidable forces of nature, symbolized by mountains and the sea. The 'abominable man of the mountains' represents an obstacle that prevents one lover from descending to meet the other, who is waiting by the sea. This imagery evokes a sense of longing and the struggle to overcome insurmountable odds to be together.

The chorus, 'Yo voy a buscarte donde estés,' which translates to 'I will look for you wherever you are,' underscores the determination and commitment to find each other despite the challenges. The mention of 'pisando el hielo con los pies' (walking on ice with my feet) and 'pierdo el equilibrio y me congeló de una vez' (I lose my balance and freeze at once) highlights the perilous journey and the sacrifices one is willing to make for love. The whales in the water advising the lover to stay in the sea suggest that there are hidden depths and beauty in their current situation, akin to submerged mountains in the ocean's depths.

The song also explores the idea of finding a middle ground, as suggested by the line 'O podríamos quedarnos en la cima de algún glaciar' (Or we could stay on top of some glacier). This metaphorical glacier represents a place where both lovers can meet, floating adrift and letting fate decide their destination. The imagery of glaciers and avalanches adds a layer of unpredictability and the raw power of nature, emphasizing the theme of love's resilience against all odds.

'Tú En Las Montañas y Yo En El Mar' is a poetic exploration of love's challenges and the relentless pursuit to overcome them. It beautifully captures the essence of longing, determination, and the hope of finding unity amidst nature's vast and often unforgiving landscape.
