Enero

In 'Enero,' Johannes delves into the emotional turmoil of a love that is uncertain and unfulfilled. The song opens with a sense of desolation, as the narrator laments the absence of stars and the silence of his own voice. This imagery sets the stage for a narrative of longing and unrequited love. The narrator's body yearns for the beloved, but he must learn to cope with only fleeting glances and the painful reality that the person he loves may never return. This struggle is encapsulated in the lines, 'Con el corazón abierto / Con mis manos sin despecho,' highlighting the open-hearted yet resigned stance he must adopt.

The chorus, 'El tiempo lo dirá (el tiempo lo dirá) / Si vienes o te vas (si vienes o te vas),' serves as a poignant refrain that underscores the uncertainty and the passage of time as the ultimate arbiter of their fate. The narrator is advised to strengthen his heart and not to cling to false hopes, yet he finds it difficult to let go. The song captures the tension between hope and despair, as the narrator oscillates between moments of resolve and bouts of emotional vulnerability. The repeated advice to 'fortalece el corazón' and 'no alimentes la esperanza' reflects a struggle to maintain emotional fortitude in the face of overwhelming love and loss.

As the song progresses, the narrator reflects on the past and the pain of a love that has seemingly died. The lines, 'Solo queda recordar un siniestro y sin pensar / La abnegación la angustia el dolor de tu amor,' convey a sense of resignation and sorrow. Despite the narrator's attempts to move on, the memories and the emotional scars remain. The song concludes with a bittersweet acceptance that only time will reveal whether the beloved will return or if the narrator will eventually forget. The final lines, 'Te olvidaré, no lo sabré, no entenderé / Solo el tiempo lo dirá,' encapsulate the unresolved nature of the narrator's feelings and the lingering hope that time might bring clarity or closure.
