A Dónde Vamos a Ir

The song 'A Dónde Vamos a Ir' by Jaguares delves into the complex emotions of passion and solitude, exploring their impact on the human experience. The opening lines, 'Sabes la pasión es cruel / no le importa lo que sufras,' set the tone by portraying passion as an indifferent force that causes suffering and pain. This depiction of passion as something that demands blood, 'lo que importa, es sangrar,' suggests a raw, almost primal aspect of human emotion that is both consuming and relentless.

In contrast, the song presents solitude as a faithful companion, 'Sabes la soledad es fiel / no te cambia por ninguno.' Unlike passion, solitude is depicted as unwavering and honest, never deceiving or betraying, and staying with you until the end. This juxtaposition highlights the duality of human emotions, where one force is cruel and demanding, while the other is loyal and constant.

The recurring question, 'Ay, adonde vamos a ir, / ay, adonde vamos a estar,' reflects a sense of uncertainty and existential questioning. The lyrics also touch on the unknown aspects of another person, 'Sabes no sé quién eres tú,' emphasizing the difficulty of truly understanding someone else's inner world. The imagery of being 'Cerca del fuego / dentro de un siglo / entre la peste / sólo tus manos' evokes a sense of timelessness and enduring connection amidst chaos and suffering. This powerful imagery suggests that despite the harsh realities of passion and solitude, human connection remains a vital and grounding force.
