OJITOS CERRADOS

India Martinez's song 'OJITOS CERRADOS' is a poignant exploration of longing and the deep emotional pain that comes with separation from a loved one. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is struggling to cope with the absence of their significant other. The opening lines, 'Ayer tiré el reloj por la ventana / A ver si el tiempo quiere volar,' suggest a desperate attempt to escape the relentless passage of time, which feels unbearable without the presence of the loved one. This metaphor of throwing the clock out the window symbolizes a desire to stop time or speed it up to reunite with the person they miss so dearly.

The song delves into the profound sense of loss and the feeling that a part of the singer's soul has been taken away with the departure of their loved one. Lines like 'Una parte de mi / Un trocito de mi alma te lleva' convey this sentiment powerfully. The singer expresses a willingness to give up everything, including their voice, blood, and soul, just to hear the loved one's voice again and erase the painful goodbye. This hyperbolic expression underscores the depth of their love and the extent of their suffering.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of wanting to turn back time and change the past. The singer wishes to replace the farewell with a 'para siempre' (forever) and longs to make the moments spent together eternal. The repeated desire to 'borrar ese adiós' (erase that goodbye) and 'cambiarlo por un para siempre' (change it for a forever) highlights the desperation and the dream of an everlasting union. The imagery of 'ojitos cerrados' (closed little eyes) and the tactile longing to touch and feel the loved one again adds a layer of intimacy and tenderness to the song, making it a heartfelt ode to enduring love and the pain of separation.
