Tras Tus Pies

Buena Fe's song 'Tras Tus Pies' delves into the complexities of love, longing, and the emotional turmoil that accompanies farewells. The lyrics open with the protagonist bidding a deceptive goodbye, suggesting that the departure is not as straightforward as it seems. This farewell is laden with emotional weight, as the protagonist feels the pain of separation and the torturous passage of time. The imagery of a smile as a 'paloma en vuelo' (dove in flight) and eyes as a 'gran precipicio' (great precipice) paints a vivid picture of the beloved's allure and the emotional risk involved in loving them.

The song further explores themes of tenderness and forgiveness, with the protagonist admitting to feeling lost but trusting blindly in the beloved's voice. This trust signifies a deep emotional connection, where passion and reason are in constant conflict. The line 'Entre ella y yo la cura para tanta cordura' (Between her and me, the cure for so much sanity) suggests that their relationship brings a sense of balance, perhaps even a necessary madness, to their lives. The protagonist acknowledges the danger of following the beloved, comparing it to a song chasing a nightingale, indicating an irresistible yet perilous attraction.

The chorus emphasizes the magnetic pull the beloved has on the protagonist, describing how what repels him in others acts as a magnet in her. This paradoxical attraction is likened to a fierce wind, highlighting the intensity and uncontrollable nature of their love. The protagonist reflects on the possibility that their time for dreaming has passed, but finds renewed hope and passion in the beloved. The repetition of the deceptive goodbye and the torturous wait underscores the cyclical nature of their relationship, filled with farewells and reunions, pain and passion, sanity and madness.
