Nosotros

Albert Hammond's song 'Nosotros' is a poignant exploration of love and the heart-wrenching decision to part ways despite deep affection. The lyrics are a direct conversation, where the speaker is addressing their partner with a heavy heart. The opening lines, 'Atiéndeme, quiero decirte algo que quizás no esperes, doloroso tal vez,' set the tone for a difficult revelation. The speaker acknowledges the pain involved in the conversation, indicating that what follows is not an easy decision but a necessary one.

The song delves into the beauty and sincerity of the relationship, emphasizing how genuine and profound their love has been. Phrases like 'Nosotros que fuimos tan sinceros' and 'Nosotros que del amor hicimos un sol maravilloso' highlight the depth and purity of their connection. This makes the impending separation even more tragic, as it is clear that the love they share is both real and significant. The repetition of 'Nosotros' underscores the shared experiences and memories that bind them together, making the decision to part ways all the more painful.

The climax of the song comes with the revelation that the separation is not due to a lack of love. The lines 'No es falta de cariño, te quiero con el alma, te juro que te adoro' convey a deep and abiding affection. The speaker insists that the decision to say goodbye is made out of love and concern for the partner's well-being. This selfless act of letting go for the sake of the other person adds a layer of nobility and sacrifice to the narrative, making 'Nosotros' a touching and emotionally resonant song about the complexities of love and the difficult choices it sometimes demands.
