Cuerda Al Corazón

Pablo Alborán's song 'Cuerda Al Corazón' delves deep into the emotional aftermath of a failed relationship. The lyrics are a poignant reflection on love, loss, and the lingering pain that follows. Alborán uses vivid imagery and metaphors to convey the sense of inevitability and the cyclical nature of his emotions. The line 'Nunca quise darlo todo por perdido' (I never wanted to give it all up for lost) sets the tone for the song, indicating a reluctance to let go despite the circumstances.

The recurring theme of time and its healing yet relentless nature is evident in lines like 'Todo pasa, esto también pasará' (Everything passes, this too shall pass). Alborán compares his lover to the ocean's waves, always returning but never at the right time, symbolizing the persistent yet untimely nature of their relationship. The metaphor of 'cuerda al corazón' (string to the heart) suggests a connection that, despite being strained and damaged, still exists, pulling at his emotions.

Alborán also touches on the idea of unresolved issues and unanswered questions, as seen in 'No fue culpa del azar, encontrarme la mitad de mis preguntas, sin contestar' (It wasn't chance's fault, finding half of my questions unanswered). This line highlights the frustration and confusion that often accompany the end of a relationship. The song's chorus, 'Me volverás a llamar cuando el sueño de tu hotel sea un hilo' (You will call me again when the dream of your hotel is a thread), suggests a future moment of vulnerability and regret from his former lover, emphasizing the cyclical and unresolved nature of their connection.

The song's emotional depth is further enriched by Alborán's soulful delivery and the melancholic melody, making 'Cuerda Al Corazón' a powerful exploration of love's enduring impact and the scars it leaves behind.
