Cómo será mañana

Polo Montañez's song "Cómo será mañana" is a poignant exploration of longing, hope, and the emotional turmoil that accompanies waiting for a loved one. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a sleepless night filled with anticipation and yearning. The protagonist eagerly awaits the new day, driven by the hope of seeing his beloved. This anticipation is a blend of joy and an inexplicable, almost surreal feeling, highlighting the depth of his emotions.

The song delves into the physical and emotional restlessness that comes with longing. The protagonist's sleeplessness is emphasized by his tossing and turning in bed, the presence of a spent cigarette on the floor symbolizing his lost hope. This imagery powerfully conveys the sense of despair and the toll that waiting takes on him. The heartache is palpable as he questions the distance between them, despite her being an integral part of his life and his deep love for her.

Montañez uses nature and celestial imagery to further illustrate the protagonist's emotional state. The moon reflecting the image of his beloved and the act of counting stars nervously underscore his deep connection to her and his desperate hope. The night, devoid of rain, allows him to find solace on the grass, symbolizing a brief respite in his thoughts of her. The recurring theme of waiting and the pain it brings is encapsulated in the refrain, where he seeks refuge in his song, a tender expression of his enduring love and hope for the future.
