El milagro

Homero Expósito's song "El milagro" delves into the profound themes of love, loss, and the miraculous resurgence of emotions that were once thought to be dead. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a heart that had been metaphorically 'suicided' by past mistakes, likening it to a dry branch or a lifeless watch. This imagery sets the stage for a narrative of despair and emotional numbness, where the protagonist and their heart are united in their silent suffering, devoid of the joy of new experiences or the grace of another kiss.

The turning point in the song comes with the miraculous return of love. The protagonist acknowledges that their heart has been wounded once more, but this time, they embrace the pain as a sign of life. The lyrics celebrate the small signs of renewal, such as nests in the trees and a carnation at the window, symbolizing hope and the beauty of new beginnings. The song suggests that dwelling on past sorrows and doubts is futile when love has returned, urging the heart to embrace love as it did before.

The final verses reveal a deep, almost obsessive love that defies reason and control. The protagonist admits to loving without measure and would even go to the extent of ending their heart's life if their beloved wished it. This intense devotion is tempered by the realization that the miracle of love's return is a divine act, a resurrection that acknowledges the past but chooses to move forward. The song concludes with a sense of gratitude and reverence for the miracle that has brought love back into their life, emphasizing the transformative power of love and forgiveness.
