Años

The song "Años" by Nasa Histoires is a poignant exploration of enduring love and the passage of time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of an elderly man meticulously preparing himself, reflecting on his past, and cherishing the memories of his beloved. The act of grooming his aged beard and polishing his favorite boots symbolizes his attempt to hold onto the remnants of his youth and the love that has kept him going through the years. The mirror becomes a portal to his past, where he relives the moments with his beloved, whose beauty he compares to roses, a timeless symbol of love and beauty.

As the song progresses, the recurring line "Pasan los años, su amor es joven aún" (Years pass, his love is still young) underscores the central theme: love's ability to transcend time. Despite the physical signs of aging, his love remains as vibrant and youthful as ever. The imagery of his trembling hands and the anticipation in his steps as he walks down the street with his cane highlights the emotional intensity and the deep connection he still feels. The mention of the street corner and the excitement of meeting his beloved evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing.

The climax of the song reveals a heart-wrenching twist. The man arrives at a cemetery and whispers "Buenos días, princesa" (Good morning, princess) at his beloved's grave. This moment encapsulates the essence of the song: a love that endures beyond death. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea that while years may pass, true love remains untouched by time. The song beautifully captures the bittersweet nature of love and loss, and the eternal bond that persists even in the face of mortality.
