Hoy
Eruca Sativa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuánto falta para llegar
A veces pierdo el norte y la calma
Se hace desear
Eso quiero saber
La piel te ata o te deja ser
Si mi camino se hace tuyo, y el mapa del destino
Necesito saber
Que me espera en el final
Que cada paso que doy me rescate
De la oscuridad
Mi suerte hoy quiero ver
Ya te encontré, ya te encontré
Mi suerte hoy quiero ver
Ya te encontré, ya te encontré
Mi suerte hoy quiero ver
Ya te encontré, ya te encontré
Mi suerte hoy quiero ver
Ya te encontré, ya te encontré
The lyrics to Eruca Sativa's song "Hoy" express a desire for direction and certainty in life. The singer expresses a need to know how much longer it will take to reach their destination, both physical and metaphorical. They admit to losing their sense of direction and calm at times, implying a feeling of being lost or uncertain about their path. The reference to the skin either binding or allowing one to be themselves suggests a struggle to define oneself and possibly to break free from societal expectations.
The singer also contemplates the idea of their path merging with someone else's and wonders how much control they have over their own destiny. The phrase "el mapa del destino se dibuja en mi papel" (the map of destiny is drawn on my paper) implies a sense of agency but acknowledges that the path is not entirely in one's control. The desire to rescue oneself from darkness and find luck and good fortune is also evident in the chorus, which repeats the phrase "mi suerte hoy quiero ver" (I want to see my luck today). The repetition of "ya te encontré" (I found you) in the chorus suggests that the singer has found a source of stability and direction in their life, bringing them closer to finding their luck and fulfilling their destiny.
