Lo Imposible
Man Ray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Imposible, imposible sólo es un sueño
El amar una sombra como si pudiera ser
Un objeto de placer.
Imposible, imposible hasta el intento
Imposible, imposible casi lo entiendo
Además te comprendo de que sirve retener
Lo que puede suceder.
Renunciar es amargo
Un deseo puede ser una compañías cruel
Imposible, imposible nada es eterno
Imposible, imposible reconocerlo
Cuando estás a mi lado no me importa nada más
Sólo puedo recordar
Alguien parecido a vos. Alguien parecido a vos.
The song Lo Imposible by Man Ray talks about an impossible love, one that cannot be fulfilled because it is nothing more than a dream, a shadow. The lyrics acknowledge that the singer understands that the love they feel is unattainable, but they still struggle with the bitterness of having to let it go. The song speaks to the cruel companion of desire, how it can lead one down a path that ultimately ends in heartbreak.
Through the use of repetition, the song emphasizes the impossibility of the love the singer feels. The lines "imposible, imposible darle más tiempo," "imposible, imposible sólo es un sueño," and "imposible, imposible hasta el intento" all hammer home the point that the love is unattainable. The lyrics also express the idea that holding on to something that may never be is pointless, that it's better to let it go and move on.
The last lines of the song, "Cuando estás a mi lado no me importa nada más. Sólo puedo recordar alguien parecido a vos," talk about how even though the singer knows the love is impossible, when they are close to the object of their affection, nothing else matters. It's a poignant sentiment that captures the true essence of unrequited love.
