“Adiós” is Cerati’s poetic take on the moment when love dissolves and two people must accept that the storm has rolled past them. The song opens with shared sighs that evaporate into una lluvia lejos, setting a wistful mood while reminding us that resentment is useless. Instead, Cerati urges listeners to acknowledge the pain, put on those melancholic tracks, and watch how a new dawn quietly waits behind every heartbreak.
What could feel like pride in saying farewell is actually an act of amor for both sides. By floating through rejection and confronting the voids no partner can fill, we realize that to say goodbye is to grow. “Adiós” turns a breakup anthem into a rock-tinged life lesson: closure is less about endings and more about the courage to evolve.
