Algo Mejor

In Fabiana Cantilo's song "Algo Mejor," the lyrics explore themes of personal growth, self-worth, and moving on from past relationships. The song begins by describing a temporary pause or truce between two people, suggesting that the relationship was not meant to last. This 'impas' or impasse is portrayed as a necessary step towards finding something better, a sentiment that is repeated throughout the song.

Cantilo reflects on the memories and experiences shared with her former partner, indicating that these moments were significant and unforgettable. However, she emphasizes that she has learned and grown from these experiences. The line "Yo vivo en un ciudad a donde el oro se acabo" (I live in a city where the gold has run out) metaphorically suggests that material wealth or superficial success is not the ultimate goal. Instead, she realizes that true value lies within herself, as she declares, "el oro puedo ser yo" (I can be the gold).

The song also touches on the idea of making mistakes and learning from them. Cantilo admits to causing trouble in the "barrios del amor" (neighborhoods of love), but she views these experiences as part of her journey towards self-improvement. The repeated assertion that she has "algo mejor" (something better) signifies a newfound confidence and a sense of self-worth. This empowering message encourages listeners to recognize their own value and to seek out what truly makes them happy, even if it means leaving behind what no longer serves them.
