Somos

Pedro Guerra's song 'Somos' delves into the poignant and bittersweet nature of an impossible love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that is both deeply felt and tragically fleeting. The opening lines describe a heartfelt farewell, where the act of kissing with 'the soul and life' signifies the depth of the connection. However, the departure that follows leaves a lingering sadness, as the protagonist's heart 'sobs' with the sorrow of parting.

The chorus encapsulates the essence of the song, portraying the lovers as a 'dream impossible' that seeks refuge in the night to escape the constraints of time, the world, and reality. This metaphor highlights the ephemeral and illusory nature of their love, which exists in a realm beyond the ordinary. The imagery of 'two leaves that the wind brought together in autumn' further emphasizes the transient and serendipitous nature of their union, suggesting that their love, though beautiful, is destined to be short-lived.

The song continues to explore the theme of love's duality, where the lovers are 'two beings in one' who find both life and death in their love. The secrecy of their deep affection adds a layer of complexity, as they must hide their true feelings. Despite the pain of separation, the song concludes with a resigned acceptance of their fate, acknowledging that they are 'two drops of tears in a song.' This final metaphor encapsulates the essence of their love—intense, sorrowful, and ultimately, a beautiful but fleeting moment in time.
