SI PUDIERA

The song 'SI PUDIERA' by MYA (Maxi y Agus) is a poignant exploration of love and longing in the face of separation. The lyrics convey the deep emotional struggle of someone who is watching their loved one leave, possibly forever. The opening lines set the tone, highlighting the regret of unspoken words and the internal conflict of prioritizing the other person over oneself. This sets up a narrative of sacrifice and unfulfilled desires, as the protagonist grapples with the impending departure.

The recurring theme of time and distance is vividly illustrated through metaphors like 'robarle kilómetros al mar' (stealing kilometers from the sea) and 'doblar el mapa' (folding the map). These lines express a desperate wish to bridge the physical gap between the lovers. The imagery of changing the plane's destination and writing a different ending underscores the helplessness and yearning to alter an unchangeable reality. The chorus, with its repeated 'Si pudiera' (If I could), emphasizes the powerlessness felt in the face of circumstances beyond control.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the loved one is adapting to their new life, making new friends, and finding happiness, which contrasts sharply with the protagonist's ongoing heartache. The breakdown in communication ('la conexión está empezando a fallar') symbolizes the emotional distance growing between them. The song concludes with a resigned acceptance, acknowledging the need to be strong and move on, despite the lingering 'what ifs' and the pain of unfulfilled dreams. MYA's heartfelt delivery and the evocative lyrics make 'SI PUDIERA' a touching ode to love, loss, and the bittersweet nature of letting go.
