Demasiadas Veces
Teenangels (Casi Ángeles)
The Longing and Hope in 'Demasiadas Veces'
The song 'Demasiadas Veces' by Teenangels, a group from the popular Argentine TV series 'Casi Ángeles,' delves into the themes of longing, hope, and the emotional journey of waiting for love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who has repeatedly believed, tried, and dreamed of a love that seems just out of reach. The repetition of the phrase 'Demasiadas veces' (Too many times) underscores the persistence and resilience of the narrator, who has spent countless nights hoping for their love to be reciprocated.
The imagery in the song is poignant and evocative. Lines like 'Si la noche te trae palabras de abrigo y consuelo' (If the night brings you words of warmth and comfort) and 'Si la lluvia se queda en la calle y adentro aún hay sol' (If the rain stays outside and inside there is still sun) suggest a sense of solace and inner peace despite external turmoil. These metaphors highlight the contrast between the harsh realities of life and the comforting hope that love brings. The recurring motif of a voice from afar that 'acaricia la piel' (caresses the skin) symbolizes the distant yet palpable presence of the beloved, hinting at the possibility of a future together.
The song also touches on the idea of breaking down emotional barriers. The line 'Y derrivas el muro que la vida te pide que construyas para el corazón' (And you tear down the wall that life asks you to build around your heart) speaks to the vulnerability required to open oneself up to love. This act of tearing down walls is a significant step towards embracing new beginnings, as suggested by the line 'Es que es tiempo de ponerle letra a una nueva canción' (It's time to put lyrics to a new song). The song ultimately conveys a message of enduring hope and the belief that love, despite the many times it has been elusive, is worth waiting for.
