Cerca de mi

Los Pericos' song 'Cerca de mi' is a heartfelt ode to the comforting presence of a loved one. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who provides emotional support and strength during challenging times. The recurring line 'Siempre estas cerca de mi' (You are always close to me) emphasizes the constant and reassuring presence of this person, who acts as a safety net, preventing the singer from falling into despair.

The song begins with the imagery of emerging from shadows, suggesting a transition from darkness or difficulty into light, aided by the presence of the loved one. This person’s eyes are described as the only ones that truly see the singer, highlighting a deep, intimate connection. The lyrics also touch on themes of resilience and encouragement, with lines like 'Animame que estoy de pie, exhausto' (Encourage me, I am standing, exhausted) and 'dale fuerzas a mis pasos' (give strength to my steps), portraying the loved one as a source of motivation and energy.

'Cerca de mi' also explores the idea of renewal and hope. The mention of breaking hours in a warm dawn and the desire to see the loved one again suggest a longing for new beginnings and the healing power of love. The song's gentle yet powerful message is enhanced by Los Pericos' signature reggae-influenced sound, which adds a soothing and uplifting quality to the lyrics. This combination of heartfelt lyrics and comforting music makes 'Cerca de mi' a touching tribute to the enduring support of a loved one.
