Volvámonos — Let's return to / Let's become again

Volvámonos is a fascinating word because it's a command in the first-person plural, combining 'volver' (to return/to become again) with the reflexive pronoun 'nos' (us).

In this song, it's used repeatedly in phrases like "Volvámonos a enamorar" (Let's fall in love again) and "Volvámonos a extrañar" (Let's miss each other again). It beautifully captures the song's central theme of rekindling a past love, making it a unique and memorable word choice.

Have you ever had a silly fight with someone you love, and suddenly it feels like the end of the world? Fonseca, a fantastic artist from Colombia, totally gets it in "Volvámonos a Enamorar"! He sings about how "Una sonrisa que poco a poco se vuelve llanto" [A smile that little by little turns into crying] and "Una pelea que ambos sabemos no era pa' tanto" [A fight that we both know wasn't a big deal]. It's that moment when you're both hurting, carrying "heridas que con el tiempo nos van pesando" [wounds that with time weigh us down], and you just want to hit the reset button.

This song is a beautiful plea to rekindle that spark. Fonseca isn't just saying sorry; he's actively trying to win back the love, promising to "comprarte flores" [buy you flowers] and asking for "razones" [reasons] to fall in love again. He wants to "querernos de verdad, hasta con los errores" [love each other for real, even with our mistakes]. It's all about remembering the good times, wanting to "volverme a enamorar" [fall in love again], and getting back to that feeling of missing each other and finding each other again. He even asks to "Volvamos a mirarnos como ayer" [Let's look at each other like yesterday] and "Quiero perderme en tus ojos cafés" [I want to get lost in your brown eyes]. It's a sweet, hopeful song about choosing love, even after a stumble.
