Jueves

ANÁLISIS | SIGNIFICADO

In this heartfelt song by La Oreja De Van Gogh, titled 'Jueves' (Thursday in English), the lyrics tell a poignant tale of unrequited love and longing. The protagonist laments not being more beautiful or clever, feeling invisible to the object of their desire. The lyrics beautifully describe the yearning to step out of their comfort zone and make a connection with the person they long for.

As the song progresses, we feel the protagonist's internal struggle and butterflies in their stomach as they steal glances at the person sitting in front of them. The emotions intensify with each passing day, from Monday to Friday, as they find themselves hopelessly drawn to this person.

The turning point comes when the protagonist musters the courage to speak up, only to fear rejection and humiliation. However, to their surprise, the person reciprocates their feelings, leading to a magical moment of connection in a dark tunnel where they finally express their love through a kiss.

The song captures the universal experience of unrequited love, the fear of vulnerability, and the courage it takes to follow one's heart. It weaves a beautiful narrative of longing, anticipation, and ultimately the fulfillment of love's sweet embrace.
