Años Rotos

La Quinta Estación's song 'Años Rotos' delves into the poignant emotions of lost love and the lingering pain that follows. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that has ended, leaving behind a trail of broken dreams and unfulfilled promises. The imagery of a 'dead rose in the street' symbolizes the death of the relationship, while the repeated phrase 'volver a verte otra vez' (to see you again) underscores the longing and regret that permeate the song.

The song's narrator reflects on their inability to love and understand their partner, admitting that their own disbelief in love contributed to the relationship's demise. This self-awareness adds a layer of complexity to the song, as the narrator grapples with their own shortcomings and the pain they have caused. The line 'si no te supe amar no fue por ti' (if I didn't know how to love you, it wasn't because of you) highlights this internal struggle and the realization that the failure of the relationship was not the partner's fault.

'Años Rotos' also touches on the theme of nostalgia, as the narrator reminisces about the sweetness of their past love and the 'promise of that last coffee.' The repetition of 'con un monton de sueños rotos' (with a bunch of broken dreams) serves as a haunting reminder of what was lost. The song captures the essence of heartbreak and the difficulty of moving on, making it a relatable and emotionally charged piece for anyone who has experienced the end of a meaningful relationship.
