Dos Fracasos (feat. Alberto Podestá)

Miguel Calo's song 'Dos Fracasos,' featuring Alberto Podestá, delves into the poignant and melancholic theme of lost love and the inevitable changes that time brings. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a chance encounter between two former lovers, now strangers to each other, grappling with the remnants of their past relationship. The opening lines, 'Me sorprendí cuando te hallé / Como un dolor sin palabras,' set the tone for the song, capturing the unexpected and painful nature of this reunion.

The song's narrative is steeped in nostalgia and regret, as the protagonist reflects on the dreams and conversations they once shared. The line 'Sueños que gastamos conversando / Cuando nos hablábamos de amor' highlights the futility of their past hopes and the conversations that now seem meaningless. This sense of loss is further emphasized by the 'Sensación de haber perdido / La esperanza en el adiós,' which conveys the deep-seated despair and resignation that accompanies the end of a significant relationship.

The chorus, 'Somos dos fracasos / Que se amaron / Y partieron y olvidaron,' encapsulates the essence of the song. It speaks to the mutual failure of the relationship, the love that once was, and the subsequent parting and forgetting. The final lines, 'Y hoy se miran asombrados / De morder la realidad,' underscore the shock and disbelief of confronting the harsh reality of their changed selves and the love that has faded. Through its evocative lyrics and emotional depth, 'Dos Fracasos' offers a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the passage of time.
