Fuimos

In 'Fuimos,' Los Rojos delve into the poignant theme of lost love and the yearning to rekindle a once-passionate relationship. The song's lyrics reflect a deep sense of nostalgia and sorrow as the narrator reminisces about a past relationship that was once the epitome of love and unity. The opening lines, 'Fuimos lo que todos / Quisieran llegar a ser,' set the stage by highlighting the ideal nature of their past love, something that others envied and aspired to achieve. This sets a melancholic tone, as the narrator acknowledges that this perfect love has now become a part of history.

The recurring question, 'Que fue lo que nos pasó,' underscores the confusion and heartache of the narrator, who is constantly reminded by others of the love that once was. The metaphor of 'fuego que alumbraba a todas horas' (fire that illuminated at all hours) vividly captures the intensity and warmth of their past relationship. The imagery of being 'como espuma entre las olas' (like foam among the waves) further emphasizes their inseparability and the natural, effortless connection they once shared.

As the song progresses, the narrator's longing becomes more palpable.

The song culminates in a heartfelt wish to hear the beloved confess their lingering feelings, encapsulated in the lines 'Decir que mueres por abrazarme / Que mi nombre se te escapa sin querer decirlo.' This longing to repeat what they once had underscores the enduring impact of their past love and the hope for a possible reunion.

'Fuimos' is a touching exploration of love lost and the enduring hope for reconciliation. It captures the universal experience of looking back on a cherished relationship with a mix of sorrow and longing, making it a deeply relatable and emotionally resonant song.
