Cerca

In the song 'Cerca' by Dread Mar I, the artist delves into themes of gratitude, presence, and the beauty of life's simple moments. The lyrics reflect a profound appreciation for the present, contrasting it with past experiences of distance or separation. By choosing to stay 'close,' the singer emphasizes the importance of being present and savoring the current blessings life offers. This sentiment is encapsulated in the lines 'Hoy me quedo cerca pues ya estuve lejos,' which translates to 'Today I stay close because I was already far away.'

The song also highlights the interplay between dreams and reality, suggesting that following one's heart leads to a harmonious blend of both. The recurring line 'Y nada va a cambiar lo que dicta el corazón' ('And nothing will change what the heart dictates') underscores the idea that true fulfillment comes from listening to and following one's inner voice. This message is further reinforced by the acknowledgment of life's gifts as 'un regalo hermoso' ('a beautiful gift'), which the artist cherishes and wishes to continue experiencing.

Gratitude is a central theme in 'Cerca,' with the artist expressing thanks for the generosity and kindness received. The lyrics 'Fuiste generoso por todo lo que me has dado' ('You were generous for all that you have given me') reflect a deep sense of appreciation for the support and opportunities provided. This gratitude is not just a fleeting emotion but a guiding principle that shapes the artist's outlook on life. By singing about these feelings, Dread Mar I invites listeners to reflect on their own lives and recognize the value of staying close to what truly matters.
