La Cita

The song 'La Cita' by Jeremias is a poetic narration of a chance encounter that leads to an unexpected connection between two strangers. The lyrics describe the initial moment of attraction, marked by a powerful gaze that feels like a cyclone, suggesting a forceful and immediate impact on the narrator's emotions. The setting is a bar, filled with neon lights, smoke, and alcohol, which adds to the atmosphere of a fleeting, yet intense, meeting.

As the song progresses, the narrator describes the approach to the person who caught their eye, overcoming the uncertainty of whether this person is already in a relationship. The mention of 'peces' swimming in the narrator's 'tripas' (gut) is a metaphor for the butterflies or nervousness one feels when attracted to someone. The dance invitation and the dedication of a song heighten the romantic tension, suggesting a deepening connection. The phrase 'cita del azar' translates to 'date of chance,' emphasizing the serendipitous nature of their meeting.

The recurring theme of destiny in the song implies that this encounter was meant to happen, despite the characters being strangers. The emotional weight of the moment is captured in the lyrics, as they describe it as eternal and compare themselves to two castaways meeting at the shores of passion. The song ends with a bittersweet note, acknowledging that they will soon have to return to their separate lives, but the memory of this chance meeting will linger, marked by the narrator's inability to forget.
