Efímero

In 'Efímero,' Beret poignantly explores the transient nature of life and the fleeting moments of happiness that define our existence. The song's title, which translates to 'Ephemeral,' sets the tone for a reflection on how quickly time passes and how brief our moments of joy can be. Beret uses vivid imagery and personal anecdotes to convey the bittersweet reality that life is made up of fleeting instances, such as laughter in the sea or a brief moment of happiness.

The lyrics emphasize the brevity of life through repeated references to how quickly cherished moments pass. Phrases like 'Efímera la vida' (Life is ephemeral) and 'dura un suspiro y a veces menos' (it lasts a sigh and sometimes less) highlight the transient nature of experiences like hugs, kisses, and expressions of love. Beret's longing for permanence is evident in lines like 'Odio los aeropuertos y echo de menos lo eterno' (I hate airports and I miss the eternal), where he contrasts the temporary with the desire for something lasting.

Beret also delves into the idea that even the smallest moments can hold significant meaning. He uses metaphors such as a grain of sand in a clock or a single note in a song to illustrate that every tiny moment contributes to the larger picture of life. The song suggests that while life may be fleeting, these ephemeral moments are what give it meaning and beauty. By acknowledging the impermanence of life, Beret encourages listeners to cherish every second and find joy in the brief but precious moments we are given.
