Porque Te Vas (part. Gabito Ballesteros)

Victor Cibrian's 'Porque Te Vas' is a poignant song that delves into the feelings of sorrow and loss associated with saying goodbye to a loved one. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the emotional landscape that one traverses when faced with separation. The opening lines set the scene with a contrast between the brightness of the sun and the sadness in the heart, suggesting that even on a sunny day, the departure of someone dear can cast a shadow over everything.

The recurring phrase 'Porque te vas' which translates to 'Why are you leaving,' encapsulates the central theme of the song: the search for understanding and the struggle to come to terms with the reasons behind the departure. The artist reflects on the passage of time, as seen in the imagery of watching the hours go by on a clock, which underscores the feeling of helplessness and longing. The mention of crying 'like a child' at the station is a powerful metaphor for the vulnerability and profound sense of loss one feels when parting ways with a loved one.

The song also touches on the theme of unfulfilled promises and words left unsaid, as symbolized by the 'things that remained to be said' that will now 'fall asleep' under the dim light of a streetlamp. This speaks to the universal experience of regret for not expressing feelings or thoughts when there was still time. The collaboration with Gabito Ballesteros adds a layer of musical depth to the song, enhancing its emotional impact and making it resonate with listeners who have experienced similar heartaches.
