Como Éramos Antes (part. Melissa Robles)

Caloncho's song 'Como Éramos Antes,' featuring Melissa Robles, delves into the complexities of a romantic relationship that has lost its initial spark. The lyrics reflect a deep sense of nostalgia and a yearning to return to the way things were before. The song opens with the realization that things are no longer the same, and the relationship is not as strong as it once was. This sets the stage for a heartfelt exploration of what went wrong and how to rekindle the lost connection.

The chorus, repeating the phrase 'Como éramos antes' (How we were before), serves as a poignant reminder of the past's happier times. The desire to 'be novios otra vez' (be boyfriend and girlfriend again) underscores the longing for a fresh start, a return to the innocence and excitement of the early days of their relationship. The lyrics suggest that both partners need to be in a good place individually ('Debe estar bien uno pa ser dos') to make the relationship work, highlighting the importance of self-awareness and mutual effort.

The song also touches on the emotional rollercoaster that comes with trying to revive a fading relationship. Lines like 'Yo siento que me quieres, luego no' (I feel like you love me, then you don't) capture the uncertainty and mixed signals that often accompany such efforts. Despite these challenges, the song ends on a hopeful note, with a call to action: 'No se vale renunciar' (It's not fair to give up). This message of perseverance and the belief that 'todavía se arma' (it can still work) encapsulates the song's core theme of hope and renewal in love.
