Porvenir refers to the future or what is to come, but it carries a more profound and poetic weight than the common word futuro.
In this song, Gustavo Cerati sings, "Mi pasión del porvenir es la eternidad" (My passion for the future is eternity). He uses porvenir to evoke a sense of destiny, prospects, and the grand scope of time ahead, making it a powerful and thought-provoking word that invites listeners to ponder their own future.
Gustavo Cerati’s “Cosas Imposibles” is a vibrant call to live right now. The song opens with love quite literally “falling from the sky,” setting a dreamy tone that refuses to over-analyze destiny. Instead, Cerati plants his flag in the present, chanting “Siempre es hoy” (“It’s always today”) as if it were a life motto. When he vows to make his “ashes return to paper,” he hints at creative rebirth – turning past mistakes into fresh lyrics, new artwork, and bolder choices.
From there, the chorus explodes with the desire to achieve “cosas imposibles,” the feats we usually label unrealistic. Forget vague hopes, Cerati insists on chasing tangible reality and eternal passion. The result is an anthem that urges you to trust your instincts, leap before you look, and transform every ordinary moment into something extraordinary. Listen closely and you will feel the rush of possibility pulsing through every chord.
