Como Vos

In 'Como Vos,' Chano delves into the profound and often painful emotions that accompany love and loss. The song opens with the lines 'El dolor es secreto, Fatal y discreto,' which translates to 'Pain is secret, Fatal and discreet.' This sets the tone for a deeply personal and introspective exploration of heartache. The lyrics suggest that the pain of losing someone is both a private and devastating experience, one that is not easily shared or understood by others.

The recurring theme of wings and flight in the lines '¿Qué pensaban tus alas, Cuando se volaban, Tan lejos de mí?' evokes a sense of abandonment and longing. The imagery of wings flying away symbolizes the departure of a loved one, leaving the narrator to grapple with their absence. This metaphor highlights the feeling of being left behind and the struggle to understand why someone would leave.

Chano also touches on the futility of seeking solace in external sources, as seen in the lines 'No hubo monedas ni suerte, Y no me divierte, Saber, saber de vos.' Here, he expresses that neither luck nor money can alleviate the pain of losing someone so unique. The repetition of 'No hay nadie como vos' underscores the irreplaceability of the person he has lost, emphasizing that no one else can fill the void they left behind.

The song's melancholic tone is further amplified by the references to natural elements like the sun and the Río de la Plata, which serve as metaphors for the overwhelming and consuming nature of his emotions. The line 'La paciencia en cuotas, Se diluye en mi boca' suggests that patience is wearing thin, and the narrator is struggling to cope with the ongoing pain. Ultimately, 'Como Vos' is a poignant reflection on the irreplaceable nature of a lost love and the enduring pain that accompanies such a loss.
