Cosa Del Pasado
Susana Cala
The Lingering Echoes of a Love Unforgotten
Susana Cala's song "Cosa Del Pasado" delves into the poignant and bittersweet emotions of a love that, despite its end, continues to resonate deeply within the heart. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that was both intense and fleeting. The opening lines suggest a connection so profound that it bypassed the usual formalities of getting to know each other, indicating a deep, almost instantaneous bond. This connection is further emphasized by the line, "Porque tú ya me entendías como nadie me entendía," highlighting the unique understanding between the two lovers.
The song's chorus, with its repeated assertion that the lover is not a thing of the past, underscores the enduring impact of this relationship. Despite the separation and the cruel hand of fate, the protagonist confesses an inability to live without the kisses and affection of their former partner. This sentiment is a powerful testament to the lasting imprint of love, even when it is no longer physically present. The repeated lines, "No sé qué hacer sin tus besos," convey a sense of desperation and longing, illustrating the struggle to move on from a love that still feels very much alive.
The bridge of the song intensifies this longing, with the protagonist expressing a palpable desire to reunite with their lost love. The lines, "Muero por volver a verte" and "Quiero estar contigo," reveal a yearning that is both physical and emotional. The repeated plea for the lover to reveal their whereabouts so the protagonist can run to them adds a sense of urgency and raw emotion. This part of the song captures the essence of a love that refuses to fade into the past, remaining a significant and influential part of the protagonist's present life.
