Ahora

Guillermina's song 'Ahora' is a poignant reminder of the urgency to live life to its fullest. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency and a deep desire to experience everything life has to offer before it's too late. The repeated phrase 'antes que se pare mi corazón' (before my heart stops) serves as a powerful metaphor for the finite nature of life and the importance of seizing the moment. The song speaks to the universal human experience of wanting to connect with others, explore new experiences, and achieve personal goals before time runs out.

The lyrics also touch on themes of regret and redemption. Lines like 'El perdón que no te di, hoy no le encuentro el porque, voy a perdonarte antes que se pare mi corazón' (The forgiveness I didn't give you, today I can't find the reason, I'm going to forgive you before my heart stops) highlight the importance of resolving past grievances and finding peace. This theme is further emphasized by the mention of unfulfilled desires and hidden emotions that need to be expressed, as seen in 'Lo que guardo en un cajón, siempre quiso ver la luz, tengo que sacarlo antes que se pare mi corazón' (What I keep in a drawer always wanted to see the light, I have to take it out before my heart stops).

The song's message is both a personal and collective call to action. It encourages listeners to confront their fears, embrace their dreams, and live authentically. The imagery of reaching a peak, tasting the earth's offerings, and standing resiliently at the foot of a metaphorical cannon underscores the resilience and determination required to live a meaningful life. 'Ahora' is a heartfelt anthem that resonates with anyone who has ever felt the weight of unfulfilled potential and the desire to make the most of their time on earth.
