Un Año (feat. Reik)

Sebastián Yatra's 'Un Año (feat. Reik)' is a poignant ballad that delves into the themes of love, separation, and the enduring hope of reunion. The song, featuring the Mexican band Reik, is a testament to the strength of love over time and distance. Yatra, a Colombian singer and songwriter, is known for his emotive voice and romantic lyrics, which often explore the complexities of love and relationships.

The lyrics of 'Un Año' recount the story of a love that blossomed in spring and continued to grow despite the inevitable parting in September. The reference to the seasons serves as a metaphor for the stages of a relationship, with spring symbolizing the beginning and the warmth of summer representing the peak of love. The departure in September and the subsequent months highlight the pain of separation, with each month intensifying the longing. The repeated promise to reunite and the declaration of love in February, a month associated with romance due to Valentine's Day, underscores the protagonist's unwavering commitment.

The chorus emphasizes the central message of the song: love's resilience in the face of time and absence. The repetition of 'Puede que pase un año más de una vez / Sin que te pueda ver / Pero el amor es más fuerte' ('A year may pass more than once / Without being able to see you / But love is stronger') reinforces the idea that true love can withstand the trials of time. The song's narrative is relatable to many who have experienced long-distance relationships or periods of separation from loved ones. Yatra's heartfelt delivery and the melodic accompaniment by Reik make 'Un Año' a touching ode to love's enduring power.
