Filadelfia
El Otro Yo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
te espero mi amor,
prende tus ojos
why abre tu imaginación.
Esta noche estamos muy lejos
pero nuestro corazón
permanece unido,
unido, unido,
unido, unido,
Nuestra escencia invisible
viaja por el aire,
invisible amor,
viaja por el aire...
The song Filadelfia by El Otro Yo is a romantic and dreamy track that describes a metaphorical journey to the city of Philadelphia with the purpose of meeting with a lover. The lyrics invite the listener to open their imagination and let their vision and senses take control as they embark on a journey. The vivid imagery of the lyrics creates a sense of longing and an almost mystical aura around the romance being portrayed. The song presents a reality where despite physical distance, two lovers' hearts are always connected, making their love invisible but tangible.
The opening line "Filadelfia brillante" is an invitation to embark on a journey, although it is not clear if it is literal or metaphorical. The song's interpretation includes a journey to Philadelphia, or it could be a metaphorical journey to a deeper level of affection or understanding. The following line, "Te espero mi amor" confirms the romantic nature of the song and the intention behind the journey. The chorus lines "Unido, unido," repeated several times, emphasize the sense of unity between the two lovers despite the distance; it is the intangible force that keeps them close.
Moreover, the lines "Nuestra escencia invisible/ viaja por el aire," illustrate a sense of otherworldliness and a bond beyond physicality. The lyrics allude to the idea of the lovers' souls or spirits traveling through the air as a fluid force that links them despite the distance between them. The song is an excellent depiction of the depth and power of love and how it can overcome obstacles and unite people beyond distance and time.
