Infinito

Enrique Bunbury's song 'Infinito' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of a love that once seemed boundless but has since faded, leaving a profound sense of loss and regret. The opening lines, 'ME CALASTE HONDO Y AHORA ME DUELES,' set the tone for the entire song, expressing how deeply the love affected him and how much it now hurts. This sentiment is echoed throughout the lyrics, emphasizing the transient nature of moments and relationships with the line, 'SI TODO LO QUE NACE PERECE, DEL MISMO MODO.' This phrase suggests that everything that begins must eventually end, highlighting the inevitability of change and loss.

The song reflects on the past, reminiscing about how others perceived their love as infinite and unchanging. The lyrics, 'y decían: '¡qué bonito!' era vernos pasear queriéndonos infinito,' capture the nostalgia and the idealization of their relationship by outsiders. However, this idealization contrasts sharply with the reality of their separation, prompting questions about what went wrong. The lines, '¿cómo lo permitimos, qué es lo que hicimos tan mal? fue este orgullo desgraciado que no supimos tragar?' suggest that pride and miscommunication played significant roles in their downfall.

Bunbury's plea for reassurance, 'engáñame un poco al menos dí que me quieres aún más,' reveals a desperate need for validation and a longing to believe that the love still exists, even if it's just a comforting lie. The song's climax comes with the poignant imagery of his own death, 'y el día que yo me muera y moriré mucho antes que tú,' where he expresses a desire for his pain to be acknowledged even in death. The recurring refrain, 'UN MOMENTO SE VA Y NO VUELVE A PASAR,' serves as a haunting reminder of the fleeting nature of time and the irreversible loss of cherished moments.
