Caminar A Tu Lado

Adrián Barilari's 'Caminar A Tu Lado' is a heartfelt ballad that delves into the complexities of love, separation, and reconciliation. The song opens with a reflection on the past, acknowledging both the beautiful and challenging times the couple has endured. The phrase 'Codo a codo luchamos' (We fought side by side) highlights their shared struggles, while 'Pero yo no supe aguantar' (But I couldn't endure) reveals a personal failing that led to their separation. This sets the stage for a narrative of healing and reunion, as the wounds 'cerraron de a poco' (closed little by little) and life brings them back together.

The chorus is a nostalgic ode to the past, where Barilari reminisces about the songs he once wrote to express his love. These songs, which no longer play on the radio, symbolize a time when his feelings were raw and unfiltered. The act of 'volver a escuchar canciones' (listening to songs again) serves as a metaphor for revisiting old emotions and memories, reinforcing the depth of his love and the desire to rekindle it. The lyrics 'Para expresar todo lo que te amaba y cuanto te puedo amar' (To express all that I loved you and how much I can love you) emphasize the enduring nature of his affection.

In the final verses, Barilari speaks of learning from past mistakes and the longing that distance has created. The line 'La distancia me hizo extrañarte' (Distance made me miss you) captures the essence of his yearning. He proposes to 'leer las cartas que no abrimos para olvidar' (read the letters we didn't open to forget), suggesting a willingness to confront and heal past wounds. The song concludes with a poignant reminder of life's fleeting nature, urging them to seize the moment and 'recomenzar' (start over) without looking back. 'Caminar A Tu Lado' is a touching exploration of love's resilience and the hope for a renewed future together.
