Song Meaning of “2000 Años” by Yajaira
‘2000 Años’ by Yajaira is a reflective track that questions the meaning of life, human experience, and relationships with others. The song is a reflection of time and the fact that life passes by so quickly. The lyrics are a call for us to make the best of our lives in this fleeting moment, to use our time wisely and be conscious of how we spend it. The narrator yearns to be free of the constraints of time, to be in touch with eternity and feel infinite. The verses also mention the narrator’s relationship with another person and how it has changed over the years. This could be a reflection of how time changes everything, how no matter how strong a connection we have with someone, everything changes and nothing lasts forever.
The chorus of the song ends with the phrase “y aquí estoy de nuevo” which translates to “and here I am again”. This is a reminder from the narrator to him/herself and the listener to not take life for granted. Don’t get too caught up in the fleeting moments, and spend our time wisely. The chorus also features the metaphor of death being the ultimate clock, one that doesn’t reset, and our lives are short-lived. The reoccurring message of the track is to be conscious of time flying by, to appreciate and value the people in our lives, and to make the most of our time on Earth.
