Si puedes ven, si quieres voy
El tiempo en los Urales:

El tiempo en los Urales:

The lyrics to Tachenko's song "El tiempo en los Urales" are introspective and melancholic, describing the desire to escape and find a better place. The first line, "¿Dónde podría estar mejor?" ("Where could I be better?") sets the tone for the song, expressing a yearning for something more in life. The following line, "Si puedes ven, si quieres voy" ("If you can, come with me, if you want to"), suggests an invitation to someone to join in this search for a better life.
The title of the song, "El tiempo en los Urales" ("The Time in the Urals"), further reinforces this theme of searching and escaping. The Urals, a mountain range in Russia, symbolize a far-off and exotic destination, perhaps a place where the singer hopes to find a new and better life. However, the line "entrada y desaparición" ("entry and disappearance") suggests that the journey may not be as straightforward as hoped, and that entering this new world may mean leaving something behind.
The second verse of the song tells the story of a failed attempt to escape - the singer bought a ticket for someone, but they got lost at the station. The lines "Tú y yo somos iguales, no existe la comparación" ("You and I are the same, there is no comparison") suggest a sense of empathy and commonality between the singer and this absent person. The following lines, "Vuelvo a entablar conversación: son personas del mundo real" ("I start a conversation again: they are real people from the world"), suggest that the singer is trying to connect with others and find meaning in their shared experiences.
The final lines of the song, "Verte llegar y algo falló: los aviones que el cielo arrasó" ("I saw you arrive and something went wrong: the planes that the sky destroyed"), perhaps suggest a sense of disillusionment or disappointment. The image of planes being destroyed suggests the fragility of one's attempts to escape or find a better life. Overall, the song expresses a sense of restlessness and uncertainty, but also a desire for connection and understanding.
