Todo Sigue Igual
Isabel Pantoja Lyrics

The lyrics of Isabel Pantoja's song Todo Sigue Igual convey the pain and longing of a person who has been left behind by someone they loved. The first two lines, "Todo sigue igual / Exactamente igual," which translate to "Everything stays the same / Exactly the same," suggest that even though the person they loved is gone, everything around them remains unchanged. The imagery of a stopped clock and a heart captures the enormity of the loss, and the inability to move on.

The singer then admits to wanting to forget and move on, but finds that waking up reminds them of their loss; they keep remembering the person they have lost, "Y nada cambia," which means "And nothing changes." The repetition of "Todo sigue igual," which means "Everything stays the same," emphasizes the pain of the status quo, and the fact that nothing has changed for the singer since the person they loved left.

Finally, the lyrics describe the constant presence of the person who has been lost, the repetition of their name and gestures, and the sense that they are still in the house even though they are not. The singer is waiting for their return, but all they find is loneliness. The line "Y es la soledad / La unica en entrar / Por la ventana" captures the relentlessness of the loneliness, which is the only thing that comes through the window of the empty house.

Overall, the song is a powerful expression of grief and loss, and the inability to move on. The repetition of "Todo sigue igual" creates a sense of hopelessness and despair, which is tempered only by the simple beauty of the lyrics and the singer's voice.
