Lágrimas de Hielo

Marcela Morelo's song 'Lágrimas de Hielo' is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and longing. The title, which translates to 'Tears of Ice,' sets the tone for the emotional journey the lyrics take us on. The song opens with the imagery of a heart beating and crying out in pain, shedding 'tears of ice' as it seeks solace. This metaphor of frozen tears suggests a deep, numbing sorrow that the protagonist is experiencing due to the absence of a loved one.

The recurring lines 'Porque no se, no se donde andarás' and 'Es que no se, no se como estarás' reflect the uncertainty and anguish of not knowing the whereabouts or well-being of the beloved. This uncertainty is a source of profound distress, as the protagonist's love was 'sincero' (sincere) and 'sin medida' (without measure). The depth of this love has left a lasting wound on the heart, symbolizing the emotional scars that remain when a deep connection is severed.

The song also conveys a sense of hope and yearning for reconciliation. The lines 'Si me necesitas, busca entre tus manos' and 'Te has llevado mi vida, busca que me encontrarás' suggest that the protagonist believes that their essence and love are still with the beloved, urging them to seek and find them. The repeated plea 'vuelve, cariño, vuelve' (come back, darling, come back) underscores the desire for reunion and the hope that the love they shared can be rekindled. Morelo's heartfelt delivery and the evocative lyrics make 'Lágrimas de Hielo' a touching ode to the enduring power of love and the pain of separation.
