El 7 de Septiembre

The lyrics describe two people who appear to have separated but still meet, or at least remember meeting, on the date of their anniversary. Their relationship’s “story” is over, yet some affection remains. The feeling moves between tenderness and uncertainty: they share familiar rituals, but now even a greeting or kiss feels difficult to choose.

The “same little table” and the reserved corner suggest a place filled with shared memories and habits. Their hands held secretly under the table hint at earlier closeness. The image of a flame that cannot be put out, even with the sea, presents their love as persistent despite efforts to end it. “Flowers of May” fading into wrinkles also links romance with time and aging.

The song leaves open what this lingering love means. The couple may still feel drawn to each other, or they may be holding onto the comfort of a date and a familiar place rather than rebuilding the relationship. Their uncertainty about whether to kiss on the cheek or the lips captures that ambiguity: they are no longer clearly a couple, but they are not entirely strangers either.
