Nena

Pol Granch's song 'Nena' is a poignant exploration of longing, loss, and the struggle to move on from a past relationship. The lyrics convey a deep sense of yearning to reconnect with a loved one, despite the recognition that it may no longer be possible. The opening lines set the tone, with the narrator expressing a desire to reach a moment where they can see each other again, even if it's through a metaphorical or literal barrier, such as a glass. This imagery of separation and the uncertainty of whether the fog on the glass is from their breath or the heat adds to the sense of distance and longing.

The song delves into the emotional pain of realizing that the relationship is over, yet the narrator still feels a strong connection and unresolved emotions. The repeated lines about it being 'impossible' and 'not allowed' highlight the internal conflict and the difficulty of accepting the end. The mention of using a 'canuto' (a slang term for a joint) to elevate their mood instead of the loved one underscores the depth of their emotional struggle and the lengths they go to cope with the pain.

Despite the heartache, the narrator expresses a desire to show their unwavering support and love for the other person. They reflect on the things left unsaid and the love they still hold, even though they acknowledge that it's too late. The song captures the bittersweet nature of holding onto memories and the difficulty of moving forward when the past still holds a significant emotional weight. The repeated refrain about trying to demonstrate their loyalty and the imagery of dancing alone, feeling out of place, and the high cost of happiness without the loved one, all contribute to the melancholic and reflective mood of the song.
