A Una Razón

Chinoy's song 'A Una Razón' is a poetic exploration of the themes of departure, memory, and the bittersweet nature of life. The lyrics are rich with metaphors and imagery that evoke a sense of longing and reflection. The song opens with the lines 'De no venir me apareció, con un te vas me abandonó,' which translates to 'By not coming, she appeared to me, with a 'you're leaving,' she abandoned me.' This sets the tone for a narrative where the presence and absence of a loved one are deeply intertwined, creating a complex emotional landscape.

The recurring metaphor of life as a thorn that tickles ('la vida es una espina que me hace cosquillas') suggests that even the painful aspects of life have a certain tenderness or humor to them. This duality is further emphasized in lines like 'De no irse nació la despedida,' meaning 'From not leaving, the farewell was born.' Here, Chinoy plays with the idea that departures and goodbyes are inherent parts of our existence, and they shape our experiences and memories.

The imagery of a fleeting moment, such as a shooting star ('una estrella fugaz'), and the dance-like quality of life ('no hablamos pero bailó ballet') add layers of beauty and melancholy to the song. The repeated question 'A dónde llevas con quién me voy' ('Where are you taking me, with whom am I going?') underscores a sense of uncertainty and the search for meaning in the midst of life's transitions. Chinoy's lyrical style, characterized by its poetic and introspective nature, invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences of love, loss, and the passage of time.
