Las Cerezas

The song "Las Cerezas" by Ov7, a Mexican pop group known for their catchy tunes and vibrant performances, delves into the theme of patience and anticipation in the realm of young love. The lyrics metaphorically compare the ripening of cherries to the maturation of a young person's readiness for love. The repeated line, 'Que las cerezas no están maduras,' which translates to 'That the cherries are not ripe,' suggests an awareness of the need to wait for the right moment when love can fully blossom.

The song continues to acknowledge the youth and beauty of the person of interest, implying that just as cherries need time to ripen under the sun, so does a young person need time to grow and be ready for the experiences that love brings. The reference to the sun kissing the lips and the 'boquita,' or little mouth, 'day by day maturing,' is a poetic way of saying that with each passing day, the person is getting closer to being ready for a romantic relationship.

The chorus, 'Para abril o para mayo,' which means 'For April or for May,' signifies a timeframe in which the singer hopes to receive a sign of love, possibly a first kiss. This time period traditionally coincides with spring, a season often associated with new beginnings and the blossoming of nature, paralleling the blossoming of love. The song captures the delicate balance between eagerness for love and the understanding that some things, like the ripening of cherries, cannot be rushed.
