Cada golpe

Melocos' song 'Cada golpe' is a poignant exploration of unspoken emotions and the lingering impact of love. The lyrics delve into the myriad of feelings and moments that define a relationship, capturing the essence of what remains unsaid. Each 'golpe' (blow) and 'beso' (kiss) symbolizes the highs and lows of love, while 'lágrima' (tear) and 'caricia' (caress) reflect the deep emotional connections that often go unexpressed. The repetition of 'Cada' (Each) emphasizes the accumulation of these experiences, creating a tapestry of memories and emotions that bind the narrator to their beloved.

The song also touches on the theme of missed opportunities and unspoken words. Phrases like 'Todo lo que no llegué a decir' (Everything I didn't get to say) and 'Cada ilusión' (Each illusion) highlight the regrets and dreams that linger in the narrator's mind. These lines suggest a sense of longing and the pain of what could have been, underscoring the bittersweet nature of love and memory. The imagery of 'Cada nota que me une a ti' (Each note that binds me to you) and 'Cada recuerdo' (Each memory) further illustrates the enduring connection between the narrator and their lost love, even in the absence of physical presence.

The chorus, with its contemplative lines 'Y qué más da, vivir que soñar' (And what does it matter, living or dreaming) and 'Ficción que realidad' (Fiction or reality), questions the boundaries between reality and dreams. This philosophical musing adds depth to the song, suggesting that the emotional experiences and memories of love are just as significant, whether they are lived or imagined. The cyclical nature of the lyrics, with references to the passage of time and repeated patterns ('Cada vuelta que da la noria' - Each turn of the Ferris wheel), reinforces the idea that love and its memories are an ongoing, ever-present part of life.
