Diccionario means "dictionary." While it might seem like a common word, its use in this song is quite unique and poetic.
Andrés Cepeda sings, "Como es breve diccionario para definir quien eres" (How brief a dictionary is to define who you are). He uses the word metaphorically to express that even a comprehensive dictionary is insufficient to capture the essence and depth of the person he loves, highlighting the profoundness of his feelings in a very creative way.
“Día Tras Día” is Andrés Cepeda’s heartfelt love letter to that special person who turns everyday life into a calm oasis. Playing with images of time — a summer, a year, a fleeting word like “te quiero” or “te amo” — the Colombian singer-songwriter asks: how can something so short capture feelings so deep? He decides it cannot, so he stretches the idea of love into something that lasts sunrise after sunrise. Even stepping into the world feels like walking through a war, yet by his partner’s side he finds peace, protection, and the courage to keep going.
At its core the song promises enduring companionship. Cepeda prays to the sky for their love to remain the same, dreams of waking up to her smile every morning, and insists that farewells always circle back to reunions. The chorus – “Día tras día” – sums up the message: true love is measured not in dramatic declarations but in the quiet joy of sharing life day after day.
