En Un Rato Mas

Los Bukis' song 'En Un Rato Más' is a poignant narrative of a man who is preparing to leave a relationship that has reached its end. The lyrics convey a deep sense of sorrow and resignation as the protagonist acknowledges that he must part ways with his lover. The phrase 'En un rato más me voy a marchar' (In a little while, I will leave) sets the tone for the entire song, highlighting the inevitability of his departure.

The song delves into the complexities of love and honor. The protagonist admits that he arrived too late in the relationship and can no longer share what he desires most. This sense of missed timing and unfulfilled love is a recurring theme. He also speaks of leaving 'por causas de honor' (for reasons of honor), suggesting that his departure is not just a personal choice but a moral obligation. This adds a layer of nobility to his sorrow, as he sacrifices his own happiness for the sake of doing what he believes is right.

The lyrics also explore the emotional aftermath of the breakup. The protagonist wonders if his lover ever truly loved him and if she will feel the loss of what they had. He leaves her with another man, hoping she can give him what she once gave to the protagonist. This act of leaving her with someone else underscores his deep sense of loss and the finality of his decision. The imagery of 'dejando una cruz de lo que he querido' (leaving a cross of what I have loved) is particularly powerful, symbolizing the burden of unfulfilled love that he carries with him as he departs.
