Sobre el Agua

YSY A's song "Sobre el Agua" is a poetic exploration of love, time, and the beauty of nature. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a serene and almost magical setting, reminiscent of Venice, where the protagonist is on a boat, captivated by the sight of the sun reflecting on the water. This imagery serves as a metaphor for the fleeting yet precious moments in life and love. The repeated line, "Tu cara viendo cómo pega el Sol sobre el agua" (Your face watching how the sun hits the water), emphasizes the beauty and tranquility of these moments, suggesting a deep emotional connection between the protagonist and their partner.

The song also delves into themes of time and patience. The line "Ya sé que nos conocen por ser los que más tardan" (I know they know us for being the ones who take the longest) suggests a leisurely pace, perhaps indicating a relationship that has taken time to develop or a journey that is savored rather than rushed. This leisurely pace is contrasted with the urgency felt in the lines about returning and not letting anything stop them, highlighting a balance between taking one's time and the desire to be with a loved one.

Additionally, the song touches on the idea of authenticity and the superficiality of societal expectations. The lyrics mention false powers and the importance of genuine connections, as seen in the lines "Y allá te hablan de poderes / Es falso, ma', si no pueden" (And there they talk about powers / It's false, ma', if they can't). This critique of superficiality is further emphasized by the focus on physical and emotional connections, as seen in the repeated references to skin and touch. The song ultimately celebrates the beauty of genuine love and the simple, yet profound, moments shared between two people.
