Lo Que Tu Gesto Da

Mar De Copas' song 'Lo Que Tu Gesto Da' is a poignant exploration of longing, distance, and the search for peace. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the narrator waking up each day feeling disconnected and far away from a source of comfort and tranquility. The phrase 'del otro lado del mar' (from the other side of the sea) and 'de la otra faz de un planeta solar' (from the other side of a solar planet) emphasize the vast emotional and physical distance between the narrator and the person they yearn for. This distance is described as an 'error,' suggesting that the separation is unnatural and painful, leading the narrator to feel increasingly devoid of the peace that the other person's presence once provided.

The song delves deeper into the emotional impact of this separation. The narrator describes themselves as 'seco como el mar' (dry as the sea) and 'negro como el sol' (black as the sun), using stark and contradictory imagery to convey a sense of emptiness and desolation. The mention of being 'gélido como un volcán del espacio exterior' (cold as a volcano in outer space) further underscores the profound sense of isolation and emotional numbness. The person they miss is likened to a divine presence, 'bueno como Dios' (good as God), whose absence has taken away the narrator's peace.

In the chorus, the narrator pleads for the person to return, using celestial imagery to describe their separation. 'Ven a mí, baja de la estrella donde estás' (come to me, come down from the star where you are) and 'sube de tu infierno de cristal' (rise from your crystal hell) suggest that the person is in a distant, almost unreachable place. The phrase 'bella soledad' (beautiful solitude) hints at the bittersweet nature of their loneliness, which is only bearable because of the memories of the peace that the other person's presence once brought. The song captures the deep emotional turmoil of longing for someone who is far away, and the profound impact their absence has on one's sense of peace and well-being.
