Cosas

Madrigal's song 'Cosas' delves deep into the themes of nostalgia and longing, painting a vivid picture of a person reflecting on past love. The lyrics open with the protagonist gazing out of a window, observing couples in the park. This imagery sets the stage for a journey into memories and dreams, where the protagonist is left to reminisce about a love that once was. The repetition of the word 'cosas' (things) throughout the song emphasizes the myriad of small, yet significant, moments and emotions tied to love and loss.

The chorus, with its poignant lines 'como amar de verdad' (how to truly love) and 'me dijiste adiós' (you said goodbye), captures the essence of the protagonist's heartache. These 'things' are not just mundane objects but are imbued with deep emotional significance. They represent the bittersweet memories of a love that was once vibrant and full of promise. The metaphor of 'nadar en el mar' (swimming in the sea) suggests a sense of freedom and immersion in love, contrasting sharply with the current state of solitude and longing.

As the song progresses, the protagonist's sense of isolation becomes more pronounced. The line 'Ahora que me encuentro ya muy solo' (Now that I find myself very alone) underscores the depth of their loneliness. Despite the passage of time, the memories remain vivid, and the hope of rekindling the lost love has faded. The repetition of 'todas las cosas que hablan de amor' (all the things that speak of love) serves as a haunting reminder of what once was and what can never be again. Madrigal's 'Cosas' is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the enduring power of memories.
