Porqué

Pochill's song 'Porqué' is a poignant exploration of loneliness and longing. The lyrics are imbued with a sense of searching and questioning, as the singer repeatedly asks, 'A donde vas, donde vas, nube de mi soledad?' (Where are you going, where are you going, cloud of my solitude?). This metaphor of a cloud that does not rain, representing unfulfilled emotions and tears that are never shed, sets the tone for the entire song. The cloud symbolizes the singer's solitude, drifting aimlessly without resolution or release.

The recurring question 'Porqué' (Why) underscores the singer's confusion and pain over the absence of a loved one. The lyrics 'Porqué no estas aquí? Son mis palabras, las escribí por ti' (Why aren't you here? These are my words, I wrote them for you) reveal a deep sense of personal loss and the futility of expressing feelings to someone who is no longer present. The act of writing and singing these words becomes a cathartic process for the singer, a way to cope with the overwhelming sense of abandonment.

The song also touches on the theme of unreciprocated love. The lines 'Porqué eres para mi, oye! Con mis palabras yo te las canto así' (Why are you for me, listen! With my words, I sing them to you like this) suggest a one-sided affection, where the singer's feelings are not returned. This unrequited love adds another layer to the singer's solitude, making the emotional weight of the song even more profound. Pochill's 'Porqué' is a heartfelt expression of the universal human experience of loneliness, longing, and the search for meaning in the absence of a loved one.
