La Noche

Onda Vaga's song 'La Noche' delves into the bittersweet emotions of love and loss. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that has ended, capturing the essence of longing and the struggle to move on. The opening lines, 'Así es amar, es como solo una palabra decir,' suggest that love is a simple word but carries profound meaning and complexity. The narrator reflects on how their partner's absence has changed their perception, indicating that the person they once loved is no longer the same in their eyes.

The recurring theme of the night and the moon serves as a metaphor for the narrator's emotional state. 'La noche esta empañada, la luna brilla también,' illustrates a night clouded with sorrow, yet the moon still shines, symbolizing hope and the enduring presence of memories. The line 'Y si puedo decirte algo que pasa, es que la luna te extraña también' personifies the moon, suggesting that even the celestial bodies share in the narrator's sense of loss and longing.

The song also touches on the idea of learning and growth through pain. 'Debo aprender que la llama va a volver a encender,' implies that the narrator understands that the flame of love can be rekindled, even after experiencing cold and immobility. The journey of 'levantando y tropezando de vos' signifies the ups and downs of the relationship, ultimately leading to the realization that what they experienced was not true love. The repeated refrain, 'Sólo despedirse es buena idea, siempre fuiste buena para mi,' underscores the acceptance of the end and the acknowledgment of the positive impact the relationship had, despite its conclusion.
