Tres Días

Nahuel Pennisi's song 'Tres Días' poignantly captures the raw emotions of longing and heartache that follow a separation. The lyrics describe the protagonist's struggle with the absence of a loved one over the course of three days. The recurring mention of 'tres días' (three days) emphasizes the passage of time and the deepening sense of loneliness and despair. The imagery of not seeing the sun and only the night from the balcony paints a vivid picture of the protagonist's dark and melancholic state of mind.

The song delves into the internal conflict of wanting to reach out to the loved one, as expressed in the repeated lines 'Pensé en llamarte otra vez' (I thought of calling you again). This repetition underscores the protagonist's desperation and the cyclical nature of their thoughts. The lyrics also explore the idea of trying to find a solution to bridge the emotional and physical distance, as seen in the lines 'Decirte qué podremos hacer para no estar tan lejos y rotos' (Tell you what we can do to not be so far and broken). This highlights the yearning for reconciliation and the hope to mend the fractured relationship.

Pennisi's use of simple yet evocative language makes the song relatable to anyone who has experienced the pain of separation. The mention of walking around to battle anxiety and the acknowledgment of the remaining illusion and song after three days of struggle add layers to the narrative, showing the protagonist's attempts to cope with the situation. The song's melancholic tone and repetitive structure effectively convey the persistent and consuming nature of heartache, making 'Tres Días' a touching and resonant piece.
