Cosas Imposibles

José José's song 'Cosas Imposibles' delves deep into the realm of unfulfilled desires and unattainable love. The lyrics paint a poignant picture of a person who longs for intimate moments with someone they deeply care about but cannot have. The repeated phrase 'Son esas cosas imposibles que no fueron hechas para mí' (These are impossible things that were not made for me) underscores the sense of resignation and sorrow that permeates the song. This refrain highlights the emotional distance and the barriers that prevent the narrator from experiencing the joy of being with their beloved.

The imagery in the song is rich and evocative. Phrases like 'Tomar tus manos, besar tu boca' (To hold your hands, to kiss your mouth) and 'Tocar tu pelo y ser tu anhelo' (To touch your hair and be your desire) convey a deep yearning for physical and emotional closeness. However, these desires are described as 'impossible things,' emphasizing the unattainable nature of these dreams. The metaphor of 'besos rosas en botones que se marchitaron antes de brotar' (rosebud kisses that withered before blooming) poignantly illustrates the premature end of potential love and affection, further deepening the sense of loss and unfulfilled potential.

José José, often referred to as 'El Príncipe de la Canción' (The Prince of Song), is known for his emotive voice and ability to convey deep emotional truths through his music. 'Cosas Imposibles' is a testament to his talent for capturing the essence of heartache and longing. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of unrequited love or the frustration of dreams that remain just out of reach. It is a beautiful yet melancholic reflection on the nature of love and the human condition, reminding listeners of the bittersweet reality that not all desires can be fulfilled.
