Cosas Como Tú
Edgar Oceransky
A Serendipitous Encounter with Love
Edgar Oceransky's song 'Cosas Como Tú' is a heartfelt ode to the unexpected and transformative power of love. The lyrics speak to the rarity and serendipity of finding someone who can reignite the light within, even when one least expects it. The song opens with the idea that things like 'you'—a metaphor for a unique and special person—are found only once in a lifetime. This person arrives unexpectedly, bringing a sense of renewal and hope, much like the light of April in the midst of autumn.
The chorus invites this newfound love to make itself at home in the singer's heart, symbolized by the phrase 'pasa corazón esta es tú casa' (come in, heart, this is your home). The imagery of entering with a flower and searching for a rose in the garden suggests a quest for beauty and meaning amidst life's chaos. The rose, often a symbol of love and passion, represents the hope that something beautiful has survived the storms of life.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on how this unexpected love has stirred his emotions and thoughts, even at his age. The lyrics 'Y mira que a mis años alborotas mi razón' (And look, at my age, you stir my reason) highlight the timeless and ageless nature of love. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of the rarity of such a connection, emphasizing that things like 'you' are found only once. Through its poetic language and evocative imagery, 'Cosas Como Tú' captures the essence of love's surprising and revitalizing impact on the human heart.
