Una y Otra Vez

Marcela Morelo's song 'Una y Otra Vez' is a heartfelt expression of enduring love and unwavering patience. The lyrics open with a plea to be let in, both physically and emotionally, as the singer brings a 'puñiado de besos' (handful of kisses) and her heart, symbolizing her deep affection and commitment. The imagery of the heart with the beloved's name engraved on it underscores the permanence and sincerity of her feelings.

The recurring line 'Una y otra vez, el sol sonreirá, el día que me quieras' (Again and again, the sun will smile, the day you love me) reflects a hopeful anticipation. The singer is willing to wait for the day her love is reciprocated, drawing strength from her connection to the sun, a metaphor for warmth, life, and constancy. This connection to the sun also suggests a sense of optimism and resilience, as she remains steadfast in her love.

The song also touches on the theme of shared dreams and a future together. The lines 'Y así soñar juntitos los dos, la vida entera muy juntitos' (And so we dream together, the whole life very close) convey a longing for a life spent in close companionship. The repetition of 'larai larai' adds a whimsical, almost lullaby-like quality to the song, emphasizing the simplicity and purity of her emotions. Through these lyrics, Morelo captures the essence of a love that is patient, hopeful, and enduring, willing to wait for the right moment to blossom fully.
