Ando Ganas (Llora Llora)

The song 'Ando Ganas (Llora Llora)' by Los Piojos, a rock band from Argentina, is a poignant expression of longing and desire. The lyrics convey a deep sense of yearning for a loved one who is far away. The repeated phrase 'Ando ganas de encontrarte' translates to 'I'm eager to find you,' highlighting the singer's intense need to reconnect with the person they are missing. The distance is not just physical but also emotional, as suggested by the lines 'Cuánto lejos que estás de acá' and 'Ando lejos, mas no me da,' indicating that the separation is difficult to bear.

The chorus, with its repeated 'Llora, llora, llora mi pena de amor,' which means 'Cry, cry, cry my love sorrow,' emphasizes the pain and sadness of being apart from the beloved. The act of crying serves as a release for the overwhelming emotions the singer is experiencing. The song also includes more sensual imagery, with references to the loved one's legs moving like waves and a liking for their 'sea and canoe,' which adds a layer of romantic and physical longing to the emotional landscape of the song.

Towards the end of the song, the lyrics express a need for warmth and companionship, 'Yo necesito un abrigo,' suggesting that the absence of the loved one makes the world feel colder and more unwelcoming. The singer's desire to take the loved one to Mars is a metaphor for wanting to escape the current reality and find a special place where they can be together, away from the hardships of their separation.
