New York

Todos Los Martes' song 'New York' delves into the complex emotions surrounding love, separation, and the passage of time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person on the brink of a significant journey, both physically and emotionally. The opening lines, 'Tenía un vuelo a New York / Tenía las valijas / Y tu lágrima de amor / Goteando en mi corazón,' set the stage for a poignant farewell. The imagery of a flight to New York and the metaphorical 'tear of love' dripping into the heart encapsulate the bittersweet nature of parting ways with a loved one.

The song explores the theme of doubt and the impact of past confessions, described as 'asesinas de ilusiones' (killers of dreams). This doubt is personified as an impatient sleeper, keeping the narrator awake at night. The recurring line, 'Esto soy / Una foto del futuro / Que no sabe ser presente,' reflects a struggle with living in the moment and the realization that to honor their love, they must let go. This acknowledgment of needing to release the past to move forward is a central theme in the song.

Further, the lyrics touch on the nostalgia and hypnotic nature of time, with references to 'aviones hechos de papel' (paper planes) and 'el reloj del cuerpo' (the body's clock). The rain shattering the glass symbolizes a sharp division of time and space, emphasizing the physical and emotional distance between the narrator and their loved one. The song concludes with a sense of hope and acceptance, as the narrator recognizes that love can return and that freedom, symbolized by the magnolia, is not a coincidence. The final lines, 'Me lleve tu recuerdo de aquí / Me lo lleve a dónde quiera que fui,' suggest that while the narrator carries the memory of their love, they are also ready to embrace the future.
