El Corazón Sobre Todo

The song "El Corazón Sobre Todo" by the Argentine rock band Estelares is a poignant ballad that delves into themes of love, memory, and emotional resilience. The title itself, which translates to "The Heart Above All," sets the tone for a song that prioritizes the emotional core of human experience over the external circumstances that surround it.

The lyrics open with a sense of longing and a recognition of change, as the singer reflects on a time when someone used to wait for them, but now even a kiss doesn't seem to suffice. This suggests a relationship that has lost its spark or has become routine, lacking the depth it once had. The chorus, 'Recorde todo, especialmente el corazón, El corazón sobre todo,' which means 'I remembered everything, especially the heart, The heart above all,' emphasizes the importance of keeping the essence of love and emotional connections at the forefront, despite the challenges that life may bring.

The song also touches on the idea of healing and the difficulty of moving on from past hurts. The lyrics 'No se si podre curarme de esta' and 'No se si podre sanarme de esta' translate to 'I don't know if I can heal from this' and 'I don't know if I can recover from this,' indicating a deep wound that the singer is struggling to overcome. The imagery of a window that once offered a view of the sea, now obscured by a sandstorm, further illustrates the turmoil and the obscured vision of the future. The song is a reflection on the pain of holding onto the past and the struggle to find a way forward.
