Primavera 0
Soda Stereo Lyrics

The lyrics of “Primavera 0” by Soda Stereo are rich in metaphor and poetic language. The song is characterized by its nostalgic and reflective tone. The title “Primavera 0” (“Spring 0”) suggests a new beginning, but the “0” implies that there is nothing to start with or that the starting point is actually back to zero. The opening lines, “Fluorescente azul/Luz que baña mis sentidos/Donde todo empiece a ser real” (“Fluorescent blue/Light that bathes my senses/Where everything begins to be real”), describe the beginning of a new stage in life, where the singer feels stimulated and awakened.

The following lines point to the cyclical nature of life, with the phrase “Siempre vuelve a dar/Nuevas chances/Una vuelta más/Entera” (“It always gives back/New chances/One more lap/Entire”), suggesting that no matter how many times one starts over, the experience is always whole and complete. The song then turns into a more personal reflection of the singer’s feelings towards a former lover, whom he describes as “Un sueño de otro/Un rumbo incierto” (“Another's dream/An uncertain path”). The chorus, which repeats the phrase “Primavera 0” over and over again, creates a melancholic and introspective mood, emphasizing the uncertainty and the lack of direction that the singer feels.

The final lines of the song, “El avión se va/Recuerdos del futuro juntos/Goles suenan a la distancia/Te espero” (“The plane is leaving/Memories of the future together/Goals sound in the distance/I wait for you”), again express a sense of loss and longing for a past that cannot be retrieved. The repetition of “ah” at the end of the song creates a sense of continuity and a connection with the cyclical nature of life.
