Y Las Aves Vuelan

Nito Mestre's song 'Y Las Aves Vuelan' is a poetic exploration of love, life, and the passage of time. The lyrics convey a sense of timelessness and the beauty of life's journey. The opening lines, 'Falta tiempo para que mi piel / Huela a final,' suggest that the singer feels there is still much time left before reaching the end of his life. This sentiment is reinforced by the line 'Tengo tantas risas por reir / Como estrellas hay,' which implies that there are countless moments of joy yet to be experienced, as numerous as the stars in the sky.

The recurring imagery of the seagull ('gaviota') symbolizes freedom and the boundless nature of love. The line 'Vas dibujada en la gaviota que es dueña / De los verdes mares' paints a picture of a loved one being intricately connected to the natural world, soaring over the green seas. This metaphor suggests that love is as vast and free as the flight of birds, transcending physical boundaries and connecting deeply with the essence of life.

The song also touches on the idea of finding one's place in the world. 'Hoy puedo ver muchos espacios / Iguales al mío / Sobre la tierra' reflects a sense of belonging and the recognition that there are many places where one can feel at home. The heart is depicted as having 'Mil sitios tengo en mi corazón / Para caminar / Con un poco de vida,' indicating that the heart holds countless paths and possibilities, each filled with life and potential. The repetition of 'Y las aves vuelan' serves as a reminder of the continuous journey of life and love, always in motion and ever-changing.
