Sueños Rotos

Banda Registrada's 'Sueños Rotos' is a poignant exploration of lost love and the lingering pain that follows. The song opens with a vivid image of a dead rose on the street, symbolizing the end of a once-beautiful relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of regret and self-reflection, as the narrator acknowledges their inability to love and see their partner for who they truly were. This self-awareness is tinged with sorrow, as the narrator admits that their disbelief in love is not the fault of their former partner but a personal struggle they face.

The chorus amplifies the emotional weight of the song, expressing a deep yearning to see the former lover again. The imagery of 'ojitos empapados del ayer' (eyes soaked with the past) and 'la dulzura de un amor que nadie ve' (the sweetness of a love that no one sees) evokes a sense of nostalgia and unfulfilled promises. The mention of 'aquel último café' (that last coffee) and 'un montón de sueños rotos' (a bunch of broken dreams) further emphasizes the shattered hopes and dreams that once held the relationship together.

In the second verse, the narrator reveals a moment of vulnerability, putting aside their pride and preparing to face solitude once more. The repetition of the lines 'Si no te supe amar no fue por ti' (If I didn't know how to love you, it wasn't because of you) and 'No creo en el amor y no es por mí' (I don't believe in love, and it's not because of me) underscores the internal conflict and the realization that their inability to love has caused pain to both themselves and their partner. The song concludes with a repetition of the chorus, reinforcing the theme of broken dreams and the enduring impact of lost love.
