“A Otro Lado” feels like packing your bags for an emotional road trip. Natalia Lacunza sings about being fed up with sadness, tired of grey memories, and weighed down by flashy “jewels” that have lost their sparkle. She turns to someone she trusts and says, “Ven, mi amor… vámonos los dos” (Come, my love… let’s go, just the two of us). Her dream? Escaping to a place where no one keeps score, where winter or summer and heaven or sin do not matter—only the chance to breathe freely and start again.
Behind the catchy melody lies a bold invitation to shake off old pain, ignore the critics, and rediscover joy by crossing to “the other side.” The song celebrates vulnerability: she admits her feelings, hands them over, then decides it is time to drop the heavy emotional luggage and hit reset. By the end, the repeated promise “yo ya no quiero estar triste” (I don’t want to be sad anymore) transforms from a wish into a confident declaration of new beginnings.
