Cada vez

Los Planetas' song 'Cada vez' is a poetic exploration of love and emotional connection. The lyrics convey a sense of profound happiness and closeness to a loved one, describing it as the closest thing to heaven the narrator has ever experienced. This sentiment is encapsulated in the lines 'Lo más cerca de ser feliz que puedo recordar' and 'Lo más cerca del cielo que jamás pudiera estar,' which translate to 'The closest to being happy that I can remember' and 'The closest to heaven that I could ever be,' respectively. These lines suggest that the narrator's happiness is intrinsically linked to their partner's presence.

The metaphor of living within a sea ('Vivimos dentro de este mar') is particularly striking. It evokes a sense of being enveloped in an all-encompassing, fluid environment, symbolizing the depth and immersion of their relationship. The sea can be seen as a metaphor for the emotional landscape of their love, vast and boundless, yet also a place where they find solace and comfort. The idea of only surfacing to breathe when close to their partner's skin ('Tan sólo para respirar pegado a tu piel') further emphasizes the necessity and intimacy of their connection.

The repetition of 'Para sentir tu corazón, cada vez' ('To feel your heart, every time') underscores the recurring and consistent nature of this emotional bond. It suggests that each encounter with their partner's heart is a reaffirmation of their love, a moment of pure, unadulterated connection. The song's simplicity and repetition create a meditative quality, inviting listeners to reflect on their own experiences of love and connection. Los Planetas, known for their dreamy and introspective style, masterfully capture the essence of romantic immersion in 'Cada vez,' making it a resonant and evocative piece.
