Sali Para Ver

Gustavo Cerati's 'Sali Para Ver' is a poetic exploration of longing and the search for meaningful connections. The repetitive nature of the lyrics emphasizes a sense of yearning and the cyclical nature of this quest. The phrase 'Sali para ver' (I went out to see) suggests a proactive effort to seek out new experiences or relationships, driven by a deep-seated desire to find something or someone significant.

The line 'y no tengo otra mirada que la que ves' (and I have no other gaze than the one you see) implies a sense of vulnerability and transparency. Cerati is laying bare his intentions and emotions, indicating that what you see is what you get. This openness is further highlighted by the repetition of 'Al fin... corazón' (Finally... heart), suggesting that the ultimate goal of his search is emotional fulfillment and connection.

The recurring theme of 'Por soñar encuentros... que no quede en nada mas' (For dreaming of encounters... that it doesn't end in anything else) underscores the hope that these efforts to connect will lead to something substantial and not just fleeting moments. Cerati's lyrics reflect a universal human experience—the desire to find meaningful connections and the fear that these efforts might be in vain. The song's simplicity and repetition create a meditative quality, inviting listeners to reflect on their own quests for connection and the emotional risks involved.
