2020: El Año Que Se Detuvo El Tiempo Lyrics in English by Pimpinela
Rezado is the past participle of the verb rezar, meaning "to pray." While prayer is a common concept, this word stands out in the context of a song reflecting on a global crisis.
In the lyrics, "He rezado por aquello que nunca rece" (I have prayed for that which I never prayed for), it highlights a profound shift in perspective and a turning to faith during unprecedented times. It's a poignant reflection on how difficult circumstances can lead to introspection and spiritual seeking.
Pimpinela's "2020: El Año Que Se Detuvo El Tiempo" [2020: The Year That Time Stood Still] is a really heartfelt reflection on the year 2020, capturing all the confusion and sadness many of us felt. The lyrics talk about feeling a sadness never experienced before, and missing even people they didn't know: "he sentido la tristeza que jamás sentí / extrañado hasta la gente que no conocía" [I have felt sadness I never felt / Missed even people I didn't know]. It also touches on the fragility of life, seeing "como la vida se va en un momento" [how life goes in a moment].
The song really emphasizes the feeling that time itself stopped, repeating "el año que se detuvo el tiempo" [the year that time stood still]. Despite the difficulties, there's a hopeful message that something has to change for the better, and that these experiences should unite us, especially for those who are no longer here and couldn't be said goodbye to: "algo tiene que cambiar / algo tiene que servir y aunque todo pasará / esto nos tiene que unir por aquellos que no están y no no pudimos despedir" [something has to change / something has to be useful and although everything will pass / this has to unite us for those who are not here and we could not say goodbye]. It's a powerful and relatable look back at a truly unique year.
