Como Me Ves Me Veré

The song 'Como Me Ves Me Veré' by De Pocas Pocas Pulgas is a heartfelt tribute to the wisdom and experience that come with age. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of an elder whose life is rich with memories and experiences, symbolized by a 'mar de recuerdos' (sea of memories) and a 'montaña de experiencia' (mountain of experience). The imagery of 'el invierno de tu pelo' (the winter of your hair) suggests the passage of time and the accumulation of wisdom, with the divine resting within this person, indicating a deep sense of respect and reverence.

The song's narrator seeks guidance and wisdom from this elder, asking to be taught how to reach life's goals and to appreciate the small joys ('valorar cada cometa'). The metaphor of a concert of life ('concierto de la vida') underscores the idea that life is a complex, beautiful performance that requires skill and understanding to navigate. The repeated refrain 'Como te ves me veré' (As you see yourself, I will see myself) reflects the universal truth that everyone will eventually grow old, and it emphasizes the importance of learning from those who have already walked the path.

The song also touches on themes of gratitude and respect, acknowledging the elder's dignity and the goodness of their soul, even if they sometimes appear grumpy ('detrás de ti vive un gruñón'). The narrator expresses a desire to be shown the world through the elder's eyes, to understand and appreciate the journey they have taken. This song is a beautiful reminder of the value of intergenerational relationships and the profound lessons that can be learned from those who have lived a full life.
