Ahora Sé Que Estás (feat. Mikel Erentxun)

La Oreja de Van Gogh's song 'Ahora Sé Que Estás,' featuring Mikel Erentxun, is a poignant exploration of love, longing, and the passage of time. The lyrics convey a deep sense of yearning and the bittersweet nature of memories. The protagonist is eager to reconnect with a loved one, reflecting on past moments that were filled with meaning and emotion. The opening lines, 'Voy a tu casa hoy quiero estar contigo / Es mi tiempo, es la primera vez,' set the stage for a heartfelt reunion, emphasizing the importance of the present moment and the desire to be with the person they cherish.

The song delves into the theme of disobedience and breaking free from societal expectations, as seen in the lines, 'Ya no voy a obedecer / Si tú me has dado la señal.' This rebellion is driven by the powerful connection between the two individuals, making everything else seem insignificant. The imagery of 'nuestras botas en el andén / Y la primera voz del atardecer' evokes a sense of adventure and the beauty of shared experiences, highlighting the magic of being together.

As the song progresses, the protagonist reminisces about past summers spent together, painting vivid pictures of intimate moments, such as 'En un hotel cerca del mar, fumando / Y la gente nos miraba al pasar.' These memories are tinged with nostalgia and a longing to recreate those times. The repeated refrain, 'Ahora sé que estás / Muy lejos de aquí / Esperando la señal,' underscores the distance and uncertainty that now separates them, yet there remains a glimmer of hope that they will find each other again. The song beautifully captures the essence of love's enduring power and the emotional journey of seeking connection despite the challenges of time and distance.
