Hojas Secas

The song 'Hojas Secas' by Diablos Negros encapsulates a deep sense of nostalgia and longing for a past love. The lyrics convey the emotions of someone who is covered by a feeling that often leads them to reminisce. The mention of being 'chained without hope of freedom' suggests a feeling of being trapped by these memories, unable to move forward from the past.

The imagery of recalling a first kiss, the trembling lips, and the clinging hands evokes a vivid memory of intimacy and connection. The artist expresses a desire to return to those moments, highlighting the difficulty of letting go of such powerful memories. The dream of being reunited, only to be separated by a storm, symbolizes the unattainable nature of this past relationship. It's a battle against the inevitable, where waking life feels just as unreachable as the dreams.

The chorus of the song offers a momentary escape from this longing. The singer asks for just one night to relive the love they once shared, under the full moon, on top of dry leaves ('hojas secas'). This setting is symbolic of the passage of time and the decay of what once was. The emphasis on living in the moment, without concern for the past or future, suggests a desire to capture the essence of that love once more, if only temporarily. The song ends with the notion that there will be time to talk later, indicating that the singer is not ready to fully confront the reality of the situation just yet.
