Centenas De Miles De Años Lyrics in English Denise Rosenthal
Odiseas translates to "odysseys," referring to long, adventurous journeys. It's a word that evokes epic tales and significant quests, making it stand out from everyday vocabulary.
In the song, Denise Rosenthal uses it to describe humanity's existence: "Somos odiseas en este espacio sideral" (We are odysseys in this sidereal space). This metaphor beautifully portrays human life as a grand, ongoing adventure through the cosmos, emphasizing our search for meaning and connection.
Denise Rosenthal sings about falling completely into a feeling she cannot hide or control. In the opening lines she admits she "falls" and cannot disguise it, and that she "saves herself" even though she does not know how to swim, a way of saying she is diving into something uncertain and trusting it anyway.
The chorus lifts the story to a cosmic scale. She calls herself and her partner "odysseys in this sidereal space," leaving a trace and searching to stay in tune. The title, hundreds of thousands of years repeating the patterns of the past, frames their bond as something ancient and recurring, as if this same longing has played out across time.
By the end she returns to the vulnerability of the opening: falling, not hiding it, searching only for one truth. The song is about surrendering to a feeling bigger than yourself, even when it means losing your footing.
