Podemos Intentar (feat. Alvaro Diaz)

Jesse Baez's song "Podemos Intentar," featuring Alvaro Diaz, delves into the complexities and emotional struggles of a long-distance relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the yearning and confusion that often accompany such relationships. The song opens with the protagonist acknowledging the partner's suspicions and frustrations, understanding the toll that distance takes on their connection. The use of modern communication tools like Facetime highlights the efforts to bridge the gap, yet the protagonist admits that these virtual interactions only intensify their longing.

The chorus emphasizes the challenges of maintaining love across distances, with the protagonist repeatedly acknowledging the difficulties. The line "amor de lejos cuesta más" (love from afar costs more) encapsulates the emotional and logistical hurdles they face. Despite these challenges, there's a persistent hope and determination to make it work, as expressed in the repeated phrase "podemos intentar" (we can try). This sentiment is further reinforced by the imagery of shared dreams and future plans, such as traveling together and building a life.

Alvaro Diaz's verse adds another layer to the narrative, bringing in a sense of spontaneity and adventure. He speaks of impulsive decisions, like moving to be closer to the partner, and the excitement of potential reunions. The references to pop culture, such as "hiking por mi mente como Kim es Calabasa'" (hiking through my mind like Kim in Calabasas), add a contemporary and relatable touch. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of the complicated nature of their relationship but also a strong belief in their ability to overcome these obstacles together.
