Las Cosas Cambian

“Las Cosas Cambian” by Banda Registrada is a poignant exploration of the evolution of love and the inevitable changes that life brings. The song begins with a nostalgic reflection on a time when two young lovers felt like they were creating their own heaven. This idyllic moment is described as a time of immense calm and unity, where they were like nomads sharing a single soul. This imagery sets the stage for a deep emotional connection that once existed between the two individuals.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the relationship has changed. The girl has grown up and learned to fulfill her responsibilities, but in doing so, she has become confused and unhappy. The singer acknowledges this change and expresses understanding, even though it brings sadness. The line “Negaste tu llanto en tratar de no herirme” (You denied your tears in trying not to hurt me) highlights the emotional complexity and the effort to protect each other from pain, even as they drift apart.

The chorus reflects a resigned acceptance of the situation. The singer declares that he will learn to live if she leaves, emphasizing that life goes on despite the pain. The phrase “Pero las cosas cambian, la vida siempre paga” (But things change, life always pays) underscores the inevitability of change and the idea that life has its own way of balancing things out. The song ends with a bittersweet acknowledgment of the past and a hope for healing in the future, as the singer asks her to leave the pain behind and take only the memories.

This song beautifully captures the bittersweet nature of love and the passage of time, resonating with anyone who has experienced the complexities of growing up and growing apart.
