Este Amor Que Pudo Ser Lyrics in English by Aleks Syntek
Torbellino literally translates to "whirlwind" or "tornado". It's a vivid and dynamic word that evokes a sense of chaos and unstoppable force.
In the context of the song, Aleks Syntek uses torbellino metaphorically to describe how time, like a whirlwind, swept away their love and dragged them into confusion. It powerfully conveys the idea of being caught in an uncontrollable situation that ultimately led to the end of their relationship.
Aleks Syntek's "Este Amor Que Pudo Ser" is such a relatable song about a love that just couldn't make it, even though it felt like it should have. The singer is packing up a new apartment, which he found in the classifieds, and it's a painful reminder of what he's losing. He sings, "Ojalá no tuviera que empacar mi corazón" [I wish I didn't have to pack up my heart] and "Ver como derrumbamos la ilusión" [See how we tore down the illusion]. It really hits you how much regret he has.
He looks back at the relationship and sees a lot of missed opportunities and unspoken feelings. He admits, "Yo nunca quise darme cuenta en que fallé" [I never wanted to realize how I failed], but he also feels like his partner wasn't seeing his efforts, saying, "Tú nunca viste que mil veces te llamé" [You never saw that a thousand times I called you]. Ultimately, he blames "puro orgullo" [pure pride] for their downfall. It's a sad but honest look at how pride can really mess things up between two people.
