Cuando Caiga El Sol

The song 'Cuando Caiga El Sol' by Cómplices is a powerful narrative of liberation and the quest for freedom. The lyrics tell the story of someone who has been imprisoned, both literally and metaphorically, for seven long years. The opening lines, '¡Ni una noche más / Me amenazarás!' (Not one more night / Will you threaten me!), set the tone for a defiant break from oppression. The protagonist is determined to start anew, leaving behind the 'maldita cárcel' (damned prison) that has held them captive.

As the song progresses, the imagery of natural elements like 'agua, tierra y fuego' (water, earth, and fire) and 'aire, sol y cielo' (air, sun, and sky) symbolizes the protagonist's yearning for freedom and connection with the world outside their confinement. These elements represent purity, renewal, and the boundless possibilities that await once they are free. The recurring mention of 'el azul del mar' (the blue of the sea) signifies a constant, unchanging hope that has sustained them through their ordeal.

However, the song also touches on the bittersweet reality of returning to a world that has moved on. The protagonist envisions reuniting with a loved one, only to realize that 'siete años es / Mucho tiempo para esperar' (seven years is / a long time to wait). This poignant moment underscores the emotional cost of their captivity and the changes that time has wrought. Despite this, the song ends on a hopeful note, with the protagonist ready to 'volaré a por ti / Dejaré la penumbra atrás' (fly to you / leave the darkness behind), embracing the future with renewed strength and determination.
