Dónde Vamos

Los Terricolas' song 'Dónde Vamos' delves into the complexities and fragility of a romantic relationship that is on the brink of collapse. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a couple who, despite their deep love for each other, are caught in a destructive cycle of jealousy and pride. The song opens with a description of a woman with long hair who studies at the university, hinting at a youthful and promising relationship. However, the repeated question 'Dónde vamos' (Where are we going?) underscores the uncertainty and confusion that plagues their love.

The song poignantly addresses the emotional turmoil that comes with constant arguments and misunderstandings. The couple's dreams are being shattered in a 'volcán de celos y reclamos' (volcano of jealousy and complaints), which metaphorically represents the intense and destructive nature of their conflicts. This imagery highlights how their small world is being consumed by negative emotions, leaving no room for the tenderness and affection that once existed between them.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the relationship is deteriorating. The lyrics express a sense of hopelessness as the couple struggles to find common ground. The line 'El tiempo está acabando con la fe de aquel amor que tanto nos juramos' (Time is ending the faith in the love we once swore to each other) captures the erosion of trust and faith in their relationship. The repeated plea 'Dónde vamos' serves as a poignant reminder of the need for reflection and change if they are to salvage their love. The song ultimately serves as a powerful commentary on the importance of communication, understanding, and humility in maintaining a healthy relationship.
