Rayando El Sol paints the picture of a love so distant that the singer feels he is scratching the surface of the sun just trying to reach it. Each line drips with yearning: he searches every corner of the city, counts the moons he has cried, and discovers that touching the blazing sun would be easier than winning the heart he adores. The Spanish phrase “rayando el sol” (grazing the sun) becomes a vivid metaphor for impossible distance, highlighting the burning pain of unreturned affection.
Despite its upbeat melody, the song is a heartfelt confession of desperation, persistence, and longing. Xavi turns everyday places—parks, plazas, even the cinema—into stages for his tireless quest, showing how love can occupy both skin and soul. The chorus repeats like a plea: he is “dying for her” while still “living without her,” caught between hope and heartbreak. Listeners feel both the warmth of the sun and the sting of its heat, making the track an unforgettable anthem for anyone who has ever chased unreachable love.
