Al Caminar

In 'Al Caminar,' Manuel Mijares explores the profound journey of love and companionship. The song begins with the realization of having found a love that once seemed distant and unattainable, likened to a 'cold star.' This metaphor highlights the initial perception of the beloved as someone beyond reach, yet the love that blossoms is natural and unforced, described as 'silvestre' or wild, eager to grow. This imagery sets the stage for a love story that is both organic and enduring.

As the song progresses, Mijares reflects on the clarity and strength that love brings to his life. The phrase 'mi debilidad se hace metal al caminar' suggests that his weaknesses are transformed into strength as he walks through life with his partner. This transformation underscores the empowering nature of their relationship, where mutual support and understanding fortify their bond. The desire to 'seguir juntos hasta el fin' and to see each other grow old together speaks to the deep commitment and enduring nature of their love.

The song also acknowledges the challenges that life may present, with references to destiny playing tricks and the need for silence to harmonize. These lines suggest that while the journey may not always be easy, the couple is determined to face obstacles together. The repeated refrain of 'al caminar' emphasizes the ongoing journey and the importance of walking through life hand in hand. Mijares' heartfelt delivery and the song's poetic lyrics create a touching tribute to the resilience and beauty of lasting love.
