Hacer Un Puente

The song 'Hacer Un Puente' by La Franela, an Argentine rock band, is a poetic expression of commitment and determination in the face of obstacles within a relationship. The lyrics metaphorically describe the lengths one would go to be with their loved one, even if it means overcoming significant challenges. The repeated lines 'Si te veo amor del otro lado, yo voy a cruzar' (If I see you, love, on the other side, I will cross) emphasize the singer's readiness to bridge the distance between them, both emotionally and physically.

The song uses vivid imagery to depict the barriers that the singer is willing to confront. References to a 'carnaval,' 'un río bravo,' and 'un hospital abandonado' symbolize the chaotic and sometimes intimidating aspects of life that can separate people. Despite these, the singer's resolve is clear as they express their willingness to navigate through the darkness ('la oscuridad') and the storms ('un temporal') for the sake of love. The phrase 'hacer un puente' (to make a bridge) becomes a powerful metaphor for creating a connection and overcoming the divide that separates them from their beloved.

The chorus, with its hopeful tone, reinforces the theme of dedication and the beauty of building something enduring for the one they love. 'Va a ser tan lindo hacer un puente...sólo para vos' (It will be so beautiful to make a bridge...just for you) conveys a sense of personal sacrifice and the joy found in giving to another person. The song ultimately celebrates the resilience of love and the belief that no obstacle is too great when it comes to being with the one you love.
