Cosas Imposibles

Gustavo Cerati, the legendary Argentine musician and former leader of the rock band Soda Stereo, is known for his poetic lyrics and innovative sound. In 'Cosas Imposibles,' Cerati delves into themes of love, existence, and the pursuit of the extraordinary. The song's title, which translates to 'Impossible Things,' suggests a yearning to transcend the ordinary and achieve the unachievable.

The opening lines, 'Si un amor cayó del cielo / No pregunto más,' which mean 'If a love fell from the sky / I ask no more,' set a tone of acceptance and gratitude for the unexpected gifts of life, particularly in the realm of love. Cerati's lyrics often explore the depths of human emotion, and here he seems to embrace love as a serendipitous event, one that should be cherished without overanalyzing its origins. The phrase 'En mis sueños nunca pierdo / La oportunidad' or 'In my dreams, I never lose / The opportunity,' further emphasizes the importance of seizing the moment and living fully, even if it's only in one's dreams.

The chorus, 'Siempre es hoy / Ya es parte de mi ser,' which translates to 'It's always today / It's already part of my being,' is a powerful affirmation of living in the present. Cerati encourages embracing the 'now' as a fundamental part of existence, suggesting that clarity and connection ('Lo claro entre los dos') are found in the present moment. The repetition of 'Quiero hacer / Cosas imposibles' or 'I want to do / Impossible things' serves as a mantra for pushing beyond limitations and striving for what seems out of reach. In this song, Cerati inspires listeners to live with passion and to pursue their dreams with the understanding that the present moment is all we truly have.
