Las cosas lentas
Portonovo Lyrics

In "Las Cosas Lentas," Portonovo sings about living in a fast-paced city that never taught them how to slow down and appreciate the little things in life. The song touches on the importance of taking a step back, being present, and enjoying life's simple pleasures. The lyrics suggest that it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life and forget about what really matters. The line "solo a trazar las líneas rectas que van al mar" (only to trace the straight lines that go to the sea) implies that sometimes we need to abandon our rigid plans and enjoy the journey.

The second verse introduces a dialogue between the singer and another person. The person is smiling and making the singer question the reason behind their happiness. The line "¿y no será que estás contenta porque te vas?" (could it be that you're happy because you're leaving?) implies that the person is looking forward to leaving the city's fast-paced lifestyle behind. The phrase "las cosas lentas y las demás" (the slow things and the rest) suggests that slow-paced activities can be just as important and fulfilling as fast-paced ones.

"Las Cosas Lentas" is a beautiful song that encourages us to slow down, take a break from the rush, and appreciate the small things in life. It's a reminder that we don't always have to be in a hurry and that sometimes, it's the journey that matters most.
