Hoy Como Ayer Lyrics in English by Alex Cuba, Pablo Milanés
Desnudamos comes from the verb desnudar, meaning "to undress" or "to bare". While it can refer to physical nakedness, it often carries a deeper, metaphorical meaning of revealing something hidden or making something vulnerable.
In "Hoy Como Ayer", Alex Cuba sings, "Se nos rinde el miedo cuando desnudamos la felicidad" (Fear surrenders to us when we bare happiness). Here, desnudamos is used to express the act of fully revealing and embracing happiness, stripping away any inhibitions or fears that might hide it. It's a beautiful and evocative way to describe vulnerability and genuine joy.
Have you ever felt like some things just don't change, no matter how much time passes? That's exactly what Alex Cuba and Pablo Milanés explore in "Hoy Como Ayer" [Today Like Yesterday]. It's a beautiful reflection on how some parts of us, like our dreams and our capacity to love, stay constant through all of life's seasons.
The song talks about looking out at the infinite, trying to understand the connection between ourselves and the universe, just "Hoy como ayer" [Today like yesterday]. Time doesn't seem to exist because the singer is still the same dreamer he's always been. And when it comes to love, he embraces it fully, "Sin esconder quien soy Sin prisa ni temor Sin culpa ni traición" [Without hiding who I am Without haste or fear Without guilt or betrayal]. It's a powerful message about loving authentically and without reservation. The lyrics also describe a profound love for someone who is the "centro de mi sol" [center of my sun], the reason he still has the desire to live. This person wakes him up in the morning in their "versión más natural y delicada" [most natural and delicate version]. It's a truly heartwarming and inspiring song about enduring love and self-acceptance.
