Buenos aires

Coti's song 'Buenos Aires' is a heartfelt ode to the city of Buenos Aires, capturing the essence of nostalgia and the inevitable passage of time. The lyrics are rich with imagery and emotion, painting a vivid picture of the artist's deep connection to the city. The bandoneon, a traditional instrument in Argentine tango, symbolizes the cultural and emotional ties that bind the artist to Buenos Aires. The mention of carrying a 'bocado de tu aire' (a bite of your air) suggests a longing to hold onto the essence of the city, even when far away.

The song delves into the bittersweet nature of change, both personal and urban. Coti reflects on how the city and its familiar places, like bars and streets, have transformed over time, mirroring his own personal growth and changes. The line 'como cambia todo, como cambio yo' (how everything changes, how I change) underscores this theme of transformation. The city's 'piel de mar el marron' (brown sea skin) and 'septiembre luminoso' (luminous September) evoke a sense of beauty intertwined with melancholy, as if the city itself is a living, breathing entity that shares in the artist's sorrows and joys.

Buenos Aires is depicted as an 'alta llanura de la perdicion' (high plain of perdition) and an 'alma de una droga tan amarga que no cura pero duele' (soul of a drug so bitter it doesn't heal but hurts), highlighting the complex and often painful relationship the artist has with the city. Despite the pain, there is an undeniable love and connection, likened to an 'amor adolescente que no empieza ni termina' (adolescent love that neither begins nor ends). This eternal, unending love for Buenos Aires is a testament to the city's profound impact on the artist's life and identity.
