Al Norte

Silvana Estrada's song 'Al Norte' is a poignant exploration of love and the lengths one is willing to go for it. The lyrics convey a deep sense of longing and commitment, as the narrator expresses the emotional toll of a separation and the enduring hope of reunion. The opening lines, 'Me va a tomar algunos días / Recuperarme de ti,' set the tone for a journey of healing and reflection. The narrator acknowledges that it will take time and creative expression through 'versos, melodías' to recover from the emotional impact of the relationship.

The recurring lines, 'Que por ti me voy al norte / Y que por ti me voy al sur,' highlight the narrator's willingness to traverse any distance for the sake of love. This metaphorical journey signifies that the destination is irrelevant as long as the beloved is part of the journey. The emphasis on 'no importa si hay destino / Siempre y cuando en el camino / Vayas tú' underscores the idea that the presence of the loved one is more important than any specific goal or endpoint.

Estrada's evocative lyrics also touch on the bittersweet nature of memories, as seen in 'Me va a acechar el sabor de aquel beso / Que nos faltó.' The narrator is haunted by the taste of a kiss that never happened and the distant memory of the beloved's hands. This sense of longing is a testament to the depth of the emotional connection and the pain of separation. Through 'Al Norte,' Silvana Estrada beautifully captures the essence of love's journey, filled with hope, longing, and an unwavering commitment to being together, no matter the direction or distance.
