Otra Cancion

The song 'Otra Cancion' by Mar De Copas, a Peruvian rock band known for their poetic lyrics and melodic tunes, delves into the complex emotions of waiting for a love that may never return. The lyrics express a deep sense of longing and confusion, as the days pass without any clear answers. The protagonist is caught in a state of anticipation, unsure if their love has come back, and feels as if they've been lulled into a numbness by an angel from heaven.

The imagery of 'shadows' and 'footprints' of another love suggests a past relationship that still haunts the singer, one that continues to sing even in its demise. This metaphorical language paints a picture of a love that is both present and absent, leaving a mark on the heart but also fading away like a shadow. The song captures the bittersweet feeling of holding onto the memories of a love that is no longer tangible.

As the night clears without any resolution, the singer acknowledges the division in their heart. Despite the pain and uncertainty, there is still a profound love that persists. The repetition of 'mil veces' (a thousand times) emphasizes the depth of their feelings. In a poignant conclusion, the singer offers their dreams as a parting gift, signaling both a deep affection and a resignation to the reality of their situation. 'Otra Cancion' is a melancholic ode to the loves that leave us divided and the dreams we surrender in the wake of their departure.
