invierno

Leo Rizzi's song 'invierno' is a poignant exploration of memory, longing, and the passage of time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the artist writing from a garden as night begins to fall, capturing a moment of introspection and nostalgia. The contrast between the summer solstice in his current location and the winter setting where the person he addresses resides serves as a metaphor for emotional distance and the changing seasons of life. This juxtaposition highlights the coldness and isolation that can accompany winter, both literally and metaphorically, suggesting a sense of longing for connection and warmth.

The recurring line 'Quizá te acuerdes de mí' (Perhaps you remember me) underscores the uncertainty and hope that the artist feels about being remembered by someone significant. This repetition emphasizes the vulnerability and desire for validation, even as the artist acknowledges his own perceived insignificance with the line 'No, sé que no, soy tan importante' (No, I know I'm not that important). The winter season becomes a symbol of this emotional state, where the coldness represents the fear of being forgotten and the hope that the other person might still think of him.

In the latter part of the song, Rizzi shifts to a more resolute tone, capturing memories through photos and embracing his freedom. Despite this newfound independence, the lingering thought of whether the other person remembers him remains. The song concludes with a mix of acceptance and a subtle plea for reconnection, encapsulated in the lines 'Me llevo lo vivido, y si me extrañas ya sabes dónde puedes llamar' (I take with me what I've lived, and if you miss me, you know where you can call). This ending leaves the listener with a sense of bittersweet closure, reflecting the complex emotions of moving on while still holding onto the past.
