Para Volver a Volver
Siempre Así
The Dance of Departure and Return
The song "Para Volver a Volver" by Siempre Así delves into the emotional turmoil of an on-again, off-again relationship. The lyrics speak to a partner who is on the brink of leaving, yet lacks the conviction to make a final departure. The repeated phrase 'Para volver a volver' translates to 'To return again,' highlighting the cyclical nature of the relationship where the partner leaves only to eventually come back.
The singer addresses the partner's lack of courage, contrasting it with their own abundance of resolve, possibly to move on. However, there's an underlying sense that both parties are caught in a loop of separation and reconciliation. The mention of pride suggests that ego may be a barrier to effective communication and resolution. The plea to 'deja de hablar y te callas' or 'stop talking and be silent' implies a desire for action over words, reflecting frustration with empty promises of change.
The song concludes with a nod to 'flamenko weno,' which can be interpreted as 'good flamenco.' This reference not only ties the song to Siempre Así's musical roots in flamenco and Spanish pop but also serves as a metaphor for the passionate, sometimes tumultuous, dance-like nature of the relationship described in the song. The music and lyrics together evoke the emotional intensity and complexity of a love that struggles to find stability.
