Por Si Acaso

Los Huayra's song 'Por Si Acaso' is a heartfelt declaration of enduring love and unwavering commitment. The lyrics are imbued with poetic metaphors and vivid imagery that convey the depth of the singer's emotions. The phrase 'Por si acaso' (just in case) is repeated throughout the song, suggesting a sense of preparedness and reassurance in the face of life's uncertainties. The singer promises that no matter what happens, their love will remain a constant source of warmth and light.

The first verse, 'Por si acaso mi amor, se te hielen los labios, no te olvides jamás, que mi boca es verano,' uses the metaphor of summer to describe the singer's love. Summer, with its warmth and vitality, contrasts with the coldness that might affect the beloved's lips, symbolizing difficult times or emotional distance. The singer assures their partner that their love will always be a source of comfort and warmth.

In the subsequent verses, the singer addresses the possibility of death and separation. 'Por si acaso mi amor, me asaltara la muerte, como vino se irá, pues te dí lo que quiere,' suggests that even if death were to come, it would be fleeting because the singer has already given their beloved everything they desire. The lyrics emphasize that their love transcends physical presence and distance, as seen in the lines, 'La distancia no existe, no hay olvido que valga.' This reinforces the idea that true love is eternal and unbreakable, regardless of external circumstances.

The song concludes with a powerful affirmation of love's enduring light, 'Ni menos un lugar, adónde no haya luz, nacida de nuestro querer, ¡Mi único sol!' Here, the singer declares that their love is a unique and irreplaceable source of light, illuminating even the darkest places. This final metaphor encapsulates the song's central theme: love as an eternal, guiding force that transcends all obstacles.
