Anoche
Pequeña Orquesta Reincidentes Lyrics

The lyrics of Pequeña Orquesta Reincidentes's song "Anoche" are both haunting and poetic. The first line, "así se muere durmiendo" (that's how one dies in their sleep), sets a contemplative and introspective tone for the rest of the song. The second line, "así me duermo muriendo" (that's how I fall asleep dying), seems to suggest a sense of resignation or acceptance of one's mortality.

The following lines describe the physical sensations the singer is experiencing, such as a white light that resembles the sun, a ventilation system, and a choking feeling caused by thorns. The imagery of these lines creates a sense of disorientation and confusion, as if the singer is lost in a dream or in their own mind. The line "y esta respiración mía" (and this breathing of mine) adds to this feeling of being trapped and unable to escape.

The second half of the song offers a glimmer of hope and possibly even redemption. The singer hears the "aletear de tus labios" (fluttering of your lips) in one ear, which symbolizes the possibility of love and connection. The image of wind opening sails and the singer being able to return to a city illuminated by light reinforces this sense of hope. The final lines, "veo tu cuello tus marcas son / y tu respiración mía" (I see your neck, your marks, and your breath is mine) suggest a deep connection and intimacy between the singer and the person they are addressing.
