Igual que Siempre (con Sergio Makaroff)

Jorge Drexler's song 'Igual que Siempre (con Sergio Makaroff)' delves into the ephemeral and elusive nature of love. The lyrics paint a picture of a love that is transient and difficult to grasp, much like a fleeting moment or a dream. Drexler uses vivid imagery to describe the beloved as someone who comes and goes with the wind, making it impossible to hold onto them. This transient nature is further emphasized by the metaphor of the beloved dissolving into the air, highlighting the futility of trying to possess or control love.

The song also touches on the theme of acceptance and letting go. Drexler acknowledges that in order to truly find and appreciate this love, one must renounce the absurd pretension of ownership. This idea is encapsulated in the line, 'es preciso renunciar, para encontrarte,' which translates to 'it is necessary to renounce, to find you.' The act of letting go becomes a form of liberation, allowing the lover to experience love in its purest form, free from the constraints of possession.

Despite the elusive nature of this love, there is a sense of unwavering hope and patience. The repeated refrain, 'alguna vez tendrás que contarle a alguien tu secreto, entonces yo estaré todavía aquí, esperándote igual que siempre,' conveys a steadfast commitment to waiting for the beloved, no matter how long it takes. This enduring hope is a testament to the depth of the lover's feelings, willing to wait indefinitely for the moment when the beloved will finally reveal their true self. The song beautifully captures the bittersweet essence of love that is both fleeting and eternal, elusive yet deeply cherished.
