30 Horas

Ezio Oliva's song '30 Horas' is a poignant exploration of regret, longing, and the desire for redemption in a relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who has been sleepless for days, consumed by remorse and the need to make amends. He arrives at his lover's house, still wearing the same clothes, his tears filling his cups. This imagery sets the tone for a narrative steeped in emotional turmoil and the hope for a fresh start.

The chorus reveals the depth of his regret and the realization that his attempts to find solace in the past have only led him further astray. The line 'Despertarme con ella me supo a tu piel' (Waking up with her tasted like your skin) suggests that even in the arms of another, he is haunted by memories of his true love. His search for lost kisses and the past has left him more lost than ever, underscoring the futility of trying to replace what he once had. The metaphor of the day having '30 hours' when he is not with her emphasizes the unbearable length of time and the emptiness he feels in her absence.

The song also touches on the idea of starting over, with the hope that 'este octubre sea febrero' (this October be February), symbolizing a desire to turn back time and rekindle their love. The repeated plea to begin anew and the acknowledgment of his past mistakes highlight a deep yearning for forgiveness and a second chance. The lyrics convey a universal theme of love and loss, resonating with anyone who has ever experienced the pain of separation and the hope for reconciliation.
