Una Voz En El Alma

Millie Corretjer's song "Una Voz En El Alma" is a poignant exploration of enduring love and the indelible marks it leaves on the soul. The lyrics convey a deep sense of longing and the struggle to move on from a past relationship that continues to resonate within the singer's heart. The phrase "una voz en el alma" (a voice in the soul) serves as a powerful metaphor for the lingering presence of a loved one, whose memory and essence remain deeply embedded in the singer's being, despite the passage of time and attempts to forget.

The song opens with the singer reflecting on the emptiness and pain that follows the end of a significant relationship. The imagery of a morning without the loved one and the silence that follows highlights the profound sense of loss. The singer's attempts to find solace in others are futile, as no one can match the unique connection she had with her former partner. This sentiment is encapsulated in the lines, "En otros cuerpos busqué / El mismo fuego de ayer / Pero como tú no hay nada" (In other bodies I searched / For the same fire of yesterday / But there is nothing like you).

Throughout the song, there is a recurring acknowledgment that despite efforts to move on, the love remains unchanged and ever-present. The chorus emphasizes this with the repetition of "Aún te siente mi piel respirar, porque estás / Como una voz en el alma" (My skin still feels you breathe, because you are / Like a voice in the soul). This enduring love is portrayed as something that cannot be extinguished or equaled by anyone else, underscoring the unique and irreplaceable nature of the past relationship. The song ultimately speaks to the universal experience of carrying a piece of a loved one within us, even when they are no longer physically present.
