Un Millón de Veces

In 'Un Millión de Veces,' ROSALÍA delves into the complexities of love, memory, and resilience. The song opens with a nostalgic reflection on past intimacy, where the singer reminisces about the closeness and physical connection she once shared with her partner. The repetition of 'parece que fue ayer' (it seems like it was yesterday) underscores the vividness of these memories, even as time has moved on. This juxtaposition of past and present sets the stage for a deeper exploration of how love evolves and endures through challenges.

The chorus, 'Nos caímos un millón de veces' (we fell a million times), serves as a powerful metaphor for the trials and tribulations faced in a relationship. Despite these falls, the singer emphasizes the resilience and mutual support that characterized their bond. The imagery of smiling from the ground and being lifted up repeatedly highlights the strength and perseverance required to maintain love. This theme is further reinforced by the lines 'Que la vida no es como se sueña, se aprende a vivir el día a día' (life is not as we dream, we learn to live day by day), suggesting that true love is grounded in reality and daily effort rather than idealized fantasies.

ROSALÍA also touches on the transformative power of love and the lessons learned through shared experiences. The song acknowledges that life and love are filled with unexpected challenges, but these moments of struggle are what ultimately teach us and bring us closer. The repeated affirmations of 'Cielo, tú me has enseñado, por ti, muero cada día' (Heaven, you have taught me, for you, I die every day) convey a deep sense of gratitude and devotion. This emotional depth is a hallmark of ROSALÍA's music, blending traditional flamenco influences with contemporary sounds to create a rich, evocative narrative.
