Esa Mirada

The song 'Esa Mirada' by Buitres is a poetic exploration of love, longing, and the passage of time. The lyrics are rich with imagery and metaphors, painting a vivid picture of the emotions tied to a significant gaze. The recurring theme of light and water symbolizes clarity, mystery, and the fluidity of emotions. The 'marca de agua' (watermark) and 'misterio del mar' (mystery of the sea) suggest a depth and complexity to the feelings being described, much like the enigmatic nature of the gaze itself.

The song also delves into the idea of separation and reunion. The lines 'Cuando se alejan de mi, Alguien los sueña esperando' (When they move away from me, Someone dreams of them waiting) evoke a sense of distance and the hope for a future reunion. This longing is further emphasized in the verse 'Si se les da por volver, A esos ojitos cansados, Nada mas quiero en la vida, Que despertar a tu lado' (If they decide to return, To those tired little eyes, All I want in life, Is to wake up by your side). Here, the artist expresses a deep desire for reconnection and the simple yet profound wish to be close to a loved one.

The chorus, with its repetition of 'La luz, luz, luz, luces' (The light, light, light, lights) and 'Esa mirada' (That gaze), reinforces the central theme of the song. Light is often associated with hope, guidance, and purity, suggesting that the gaze in question holds a significant and positive influence over the narrator. The song concludes with a wish for the light to shine 'para siempre' (forever), indicating a desire for enduring love and happiness despite the challenges and disillusionments ('desengaños') faced along the way.
