Reflections of a Wandering Soul: Charles Ans' 'Si Nunca Va a Amanecer'
Charles Ans' song 'Si Nunca Va a Amanecer' is a poignant reflection on solitude, longing, and the artist's personal journey. The lyrics paint a picture of a man who lives in a gray room, a metaphorical space where he keeps his secrets and sins. This room, filled with jazz, represents a place of introspection and creativity, where the artist has learned to distract himself and stay busy, perhaps as a coping mechanism for deeper emotional turmoil.
The chorus, which repeats the wish for a companion if the dawn never comes, suggests a desire for connection and intimacy. The repeated lines 'Si a pesar del frío el clima nos juntó' (If despite the cold the weather brought us together) and 'Si para mi suerte tardó en salir el Sol' (If for my luck the Sun took a long time to rise) evoke a sense of serendipity and gratitude for moments shared with someone special. These moments allow the artist to forget his troubles and remember his true self. The reference to 'otro martes' (another Tuesday) could imply a routine or a special day reserved for this connection.
The song also touches on the artist's nostalgia for his hometown, Sonora, and his love for culture and beauty. However, there's an acknowledgment of his inability to commit in the way he wishes he could, and a resignation to always being distant from what the other person might want. The lyrics convey a complex emotional landscape, where love, longing, and personal struggles intertwine, leaving the artist in a state of contemplation and yearning for a presence that can merge with his spirit, even if the dawn never breaks.
