Alguien Me Espera

Liuba Maria Hevia's song 'Alguien Me Espera' is a poetic exploration of love, time, and the human experience. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two people who lose themselves together, abandoning the constraints of time and space. The imagery of leaving behind 'horizonte sin relojes, brújulas ni escaleras' (horizon without clocks, compasses, or stairs) suggests a journey into the unknown, driven by impatience and a desire for something beyond the ordinary. This journey is not bound by physical or temporal limitations, but rather by a shared sense of innocence and wonder.

The song delves deeper into the concept of time, describing how the protagonists 'violamos el tiempo' (violated time) with a guitar on their back, shedding the leaves of the night and drinking centuries from each footprint. This metaphorical language emphasizes the timeless nature of their experience, where moments stretch into eternity and every step is imbued with historical significance. The guitar, a symbol of music and emotion, serves as their companion, guiding them through this timeless journey.

Hevia's belief in love is central to the song. She sings of a love that arrives 'desnudándose en su coche' (undressing in its car) and a love that waits and knows how to capture the night. This duality of love—both spontaneous and patient—reflects the complexities of human relationships. The final verse brings a sense of hope and solace, as Hevia reassures that 'alguien me espera' (someone waits for me) even when the world is weary, loneliness is burdensome, and surprise is scarce. This serene waiting signifies a deep, unwavering connection that transcends the trials of life.
