Volverás

Iguana Tango's song 'Volverás' delves into the emotional turmoil and unwavering hope experienced after a sudden and painful separation. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of abandonment and the subsequent struggle to understand and cope with the loss. The repeated plea, 'Dime por qué,' which translates to 'Tell me why,' underscores the confusion and desperation of the narrator, who is left grappling with unanswered questions and a sense of betrayal. The imagery of being left 'remando a solas' (rowing alone) and 'naufragar' (to be shipwrecked) poignantly captures the feeling of being adrift and lost without the other person.

The chorus, with its insistent refrain 'Volverás' (You will return), reveals a deep-seated belief that the estranged partner will eventually come back. This refrain is not just a statement but a mantra of hope and certainty. The narrator envisions a future where the partner returns, seeking forgiveness and reconciliation. This hope is so strong that it becomes a central theme of the song, suggesting that the narrator's love and faith are unshakeable despite the current pain and confusion.

The song also uses powerful metaphors to describe the sense of abandonment. The lines 'me has dejado solo en la cuneta' (you left me alone in the ditch) and 'me robaste el mapa de tu alma' (you stole the map of your soul) convey a profound sense of being discarded and lost. These metaphors highlight the depth of the emotional impact and the struggle to find direction and meaning after the separation. Despite these feelings, the narrator's conviction that 'esto no es el final' (this is not the end) reinforces the theme of enduring hope and the belief in eventual reunion.
