Hay Un Modo

Pedro Suárez-Vértiz's song "Hay Un Modo" delves into the complexities and fleeting nature of romantic love. The lyrics express a deep fear and uncertainty about the impermanence of passion. The opening lines, "Que miedo da el amor de momento / Como un incendio te puede llenar todo el corazón," compare love to a sudden, consuming fire that fills the heart, highlighting its intense and overwhelming nature. This metaphor sets the stage for the central theme of the song: the desire to make the initial, exhilarating moments of love last forever.

The chorus, "Pero hay un modo, debe haber un modo / De hacer eterna la primera vez," reflects a yearning to find a way to preserve the magic of the first kiss and the initial stages of a relationship. This longing is juxtaposed with the realization that time inevitably changes feelings, as expressed in the lines, "Dicen que el tiempo veloz se va cuando hay amor / Pero éste se va con el tiempo." The artist grapples with the idea that love, no matter how passionate, is subject to the passage of time and the eventual fading of initial excitement.

Throughout the song, Suárez-Vértiz questions whether the intense emotions he feels are genuine or merely a product of novelty. He wonders if his passion is a true, lasting feeling or just a fleeting obsession. The repeated refrain, "Pero hay un modo, debe haber un modo," underscores his hope and determination to find a way to keep the love alive and vibrant. The song captures the universal human desire to hold onto the magic of new love and the fear of losing it to the mundane passage of time.
