Gotitas Saladas paints heartbreak as a private rainstorm. Ángela Aguilar sings about tears that fall like salty droplets when love’s battle is lost. Even if the sky looks clear, her inner weather is soaked with regret: the sun rises, yet she cannot feel its warmth. Each drop is an “enfermera del alma”—a nurse for the soul—allowing her to keep the memory of a love that could have been so much.
The track blends Regional Mexican roots with poetic imagery, turning a simple breakup into a vivid climate of emotion. Listeners travel through the storm of lingering attachment: she does not want to let go, so she refuses to wipe the tears, hoping they will keep her former lover close. It is a bittersweet reminder that sometimes we cling to pain because it is all we have left of yesterday’s sun.
