Porque Te Vas (feat. Victor Cibrian)

Gabito Ballesteros' song 'Porque Te Vas,' featuring Victor Cibrian, is a poignant exploration of the sorrow and longing that accompanies the departure of a loved one. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a heartbroken individual grappling with the reality of separation. The song opens with the imagery of a sunny day, which contrasts sharply with the protagonist's inner sadness as they contemplate the city and the absence of their beloved. This juxtaposition highlights the emotional turmoil that often accompanies such farewells.

The recurring line 'Porque te vas' (Why are you leaving?) serves as a haunting refrain, emphasizing the pain and confusion that come with the departure. The protagonist's sleepless nights and the passage of time, marked by the ticking of a clock, underscore the depth of their longing and the void left by the loved one's absence. The mention of unfulfilled promises and the metaphor of crying like a child at the station further amplify the sense of loss and vulnerability.

The song also delves into the theme of unspoken words and missed opportunities. The imagery of things 'sleeping' under the dim light of a streetlamp and hours 'waiting' alongside the clock's hands suggests a sense of stagnation and unfulfilled potential. This adds another layer of melancholy, as the protagonist reflects on what could have been. Gabito Ballesteros' emotive delivery, combined with Victor Cibrian's contribution, enhances the song's emotional impact, making 'Porque Te Vas' a touching ode to the heartache of parting ways with someone dear.
