Calendario

In 'Calendario,' Kudai poignantly captures the desolation and emptiness that follows the departure of a loved one. The song's lyrics revolve around the metaphor of a calendar, with each day of the week representing a different facet of the singer's sorrow and longing. The recurring imagery of the calendar and the passage of time underscores the relentless nature of their grief, as every day feels interminable without the presence of their beloved.

The song opens with the singer staring at a calendar on their bed, a symbol of the time that has passed since their loved one left. The lyrics 'Hace una semana recién que te marchaste / Y aún no puedo dormir' (It's only been a week since you left / And I still can't sleep) highlight the immediate and profound impact of the separation. The days of the week are personified, with Mondays being 'eternal' and Tuesdays feeling 'longer' without the loved one. This personification emphasizes the emotional weight and the slow, dragging passage of time in the absence of the beloved.

The chorus intensifies the sense of despair, with the singer pleading to be 'torn apart' on Wednesdays and 'cut' on Thursdays, as they can no longer bear the pain by Friday. The repetition of 'Arráncame, arráncame / Córtame los Jueves del corazón' (Tear me apart, tear me apart / Cut Thursdays from my heart) conveys a deep sense of anguish and a desire to escape the relentless cycle of heartache. The metaphor of 'all weeks being winter' since the loved one left further amplifies the cold, bleak, and unending nature of their sorrow.

Kudai's 'Calendario' is a powerful exploration of the emotional devastation caused by the loss of a loved one. The song's vivid imagery and heartfelt lyrics resonate with anyone who has experienced the pain of separation, making it a poignant anthem of heartbreak and longing.
