Popurrí (caballito)

Mar De Copas' song 'Popurrí (caballito)' delves into themes of loss, resilience, and the passage of time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the aftermath of a significant relationship or event. The opening lines, 'Que quieres de mi, tal vez cobrar un hombre muerto,' suggest a confrontation with the past, possibly with a person or memory that continues to haunt the narrator. The imagery of following someone 'hasta el fondo del mar' and meeting them 'en el juicio final' evokes a sense of inevitability and finality, as if the narrator is resigned to facing their demons head-on.

The song also explores the concept of aging and the inevitable changes that come with it. Lines like 'Llegó a su fin una juventud eterna, cobran sentido las arrugas en tu piel' reflect on the end of an eternal youth and the meaningfulness of the wrinkles that have formed over time. This acknowledgment of aging is not portrayed as a loss but rather as a natural progression, a part of life's journey that brings its own form of wisdom and understanding.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of resilience and the struggle to move forward. The narrator speaks of leaving someone behind, 'allí te dejo y escapo sin más,' and the imagery of a 'bestia' that 'galopa y aun puede volar' symbolizes an inner strength and the ability to rise above adversity. The song concludes with a poignant reflection on memories and the lingering presence of a lost love, 'recuerdos en la habitación, estallará su corazón.' This final image encapsulates the enduring impact of past experiences and the emotional scars that remain, yet it also hints at the possibility of dancing through the pain and finding a way to keep moving forward.
