Fabula del tiempo by Óscar Manuel Paredes Grau — Lyrics
Lo que sin detenerse
desde muy lejos viene y ya se acerca
e intensamente brilla
unos momentos junto a nosotros
y nos hace ser parte
de su fulgor inusitado
y después va alejándose
y nos deja para siempre
anhelantes

About Fabula del tiempo
Óscar Manuel Paredes Grau's Fabula del tiempo explores the ephemeral nature of existence, personified by the fleeting passage of time and its brilliant, yet transient, impact on our lives. The text poetically describes a powerful force that arrives, illuminates, and then recedes, leaving behind a profound sense of longing and the enduring awareness of having experienced something extraordinary. This secular SAB setting, in Spanish, captures the essence of this philosophical reflection, encouraging singers and listeners to contemplate the intensity of love, beauty, and the very act of being, as if caught within a vivid dream.
