Unrequited Desires in Mora's 'Volando'
Mora's song 'Volando' delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the longing for someone who is out of reach. The lyrics express the artist's deep feelings for someone he cannot be with, possibly due to circumstances that make the relationship forbidden or unattainable. Despite the barriers, the protagonist remains fixated on this person, to the point where it affects his daily life and creative process.
The song's chorus, 'Y si me llamas, le llego volando,' which translates to 'And if you call me, I'll come flying,' illustrates the protagonist's readiness to drop everything for the chance to be with this person. The use of 'volando' (flying) metaphorically represents the urgency and intensity of his feelings. The repeated imagery of imagining the person undressed in his bed signifies a deep yearning for intimacy and connection that remains unfulfilled.
Mora's lyrics also touch on the pain of trying to move on, as seen in lines like 'Sigo viendo tu cara cuando a otra se lo pongo' ('I still see your face when I'm with someone else'). The struggle to heal from this emotional wound is evident, as the protagonist grapples with the lingering presence of this person in his life, even in their absence. The song captures the essence of longing for someone who may never reciprocate the same level of affection, and the bittersweet acceptance of loving from afar.
