ESPERAR
ANGELIQUE IONATOS

A esperar con la angustía guardada
La columna rota y la inmensa mirada
Y la inmensa mirada
Sin andar en el basto sendero
Moviendo mi vida
Cerca de acero

Cerca de acero
Colon de veneno todo al revés
Yo sol y luna
Pies y frida
Yo sol y luna
Pies y frida
Yo sol y luna
Pies frida
Yo sol y luna
Pies y frida
Yo sol y luna
Pies y frida
Yo sol y luna
Pies y frida

Y la inmensa mirada
Sin andar en el basto sendero
Moviendo mi vida
Cerca de acero
Espero alegre la salida




Y espero no volver jamás
Jamás... jamás

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Angélique Ionatos' "Esperar" are powerful and reflect a sense of anticipation mixed with anxiety. With the opening line, "esperar con la angustía guardada," Ionatos sets the tone for a waiting game filled with uncertainty and apprehension. The imagery of a broken column and an immense gaze further adds to the sense of distress and discomfort. The repetition of "sin andar en el basto sendero, moviendo mi vida cerca de acero" illustrates the struggle of moving forward when everything feels heavy and difficult. The language is haunting, capturing the emotional complexity that comes with waiting for something to happen. The last few lines, "espero alegre la salida y espero no volver jamás," leave little room for misinterpretation; there is an eagerness to see the light at the end of the tunnel but also a worry of what waits on the other side.


Overall, "Esperar" is an insightful exploration of the emotions that come with waiting. Ionatos' use of language is especially effective because it not only conveys what it feels like to be stuck in a moment but also reveals the larger implications of that moment. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but they ultimately inspire a sense of resiliency and hope despite ongoing uncertainty.
