Dejar Caer El Sol

El Bordo's song 'Dejar Caer El Sol' is a poignant exploration of longing, distance, and emotional turmoil. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who feels both close and far from their loved one, creating a sense of emotional dissonance. The opening lines, 'Estás dormida y no puedo hacerte bien, estás tan lejos y tan cerca a la vez,' capture this duality perfectly. The loved one is physically present but emotionally distant, leading to a feeling of helplessness and sorrow.

The recurring imagery of the sun setting, 'viendo dejar caer el sol,' serves as a powerful metaphor for the end of a phase or the waning of hope. The sun setting in a 'sad dream' suggests a sense of resignation and melancholy. The line 'voy a sangrarte siempre' indicates a deep, enduring pain that the narrator feels, as if the emotional wounds will never fully heal. This adds a layer of tragic beauty to the song, emphasizing the depth of the narrator's feelings.

The song also delves into the theme of emptiness and the search for solace. The narrator feels 'ahogado en vacia sensación,' or drowned in an empty sensation, highlighting the void left by the absence of their loved one. The idea that 'un suelo es casa si me acuesto junto a vos' suggests that any place can feel like home as long as they are together, underscoring the importance of emotional connection. The final lines, 'noches vacías solo se llenan con tu voz,' encapsulate the longing and the idea that only the presence of the loved one can fill the emptiness.
