Reverdecer literally means "to turn green again" or "to re-green." It's a beautiful and evocative word that paints a picture of renewal and regrowth.
In the context of the song, it's used metaphorically to suggest that plans or hopes can "flourish again" or "come back to life." It implies a fresh start and a return to vitality, making it a very optimistic and engaging word.
Juan Farfan's "La Vida Es Un Libro Abierto" is like a warm, wise chat with a good friend, reminding us that life is always moving forward. He tells us not to worry about the past and to look for new love, because "las cosas andan bien" [things are going well] and our plans will "vuelven a reverdecer" [bloom again]. It's all about taking things easy and making good choices.
He uses some great metaphors, like saying "la vida es un libro abierto donde se aprende a leer" [life is an open book where you learn to read]. Farfan also has a blunt way of putting things, warning that if we're not smart, "llevamos la de perder" [we'll lose]. He even jokes about not believing in good luck, but in a loyal love and a true friend, adding, "el amigo en el bolsillo me acabó de convencer" [the friend in my pocket just convinced me] – a funny way to say money talks! The song is a great reminder that "mañana será otro día habrá un nuevo amanecer" [tomorrow will be another day, there will be a new dawn], and we should always be learning and growing.
