Review

Here is my answer to your questions about the song “Todo tiene su hora” by Juan Luis Guerra:

The song is a positive and uplifting message of hope and faith for someone who has suffered a heartbreak and lost the illusion of love. The singer tells the person that everything has its time and that a new love is waiting for them under the rising sun. He encourages the person to smile, dress up with his song, and remember that the old has passed and the new is better. He also compares the person’s situation to the moon, which does not stay alone but rejoices in a sea of waves and tells the poppy that it waits for its love like the güira waits for the tambora (two musical instruments used in Dominican music). He also mentions the beauty of nature and God’s gift as signs of hope and joy.
The song makes me feel happy and optimistic. It is a catchy and cheerful tune that invites me to dance and sing along. It also reminds me that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel and that God has a plan for everyone. I like how the singer uses metaphors and imagery to convey his message and how he blends different musical styles such as bachata, merengue, salsa, and jazz.
The artist weaves the story by using the following elements:
- He uses rhetorical questions, repetition, contrast, and exclamation to emphasize his point and persuade the person to believe in love again. For example, he asks “¿Cómo yo lo sé?” (How do I know it?), repeats “se alegra en un mar de olas y le dice a la amapola que espera su cariñito como la güira espera tambora” (it rejoices in a sea of waves and tells the poppy that it waits for its love like the güira waits for the tambora), contrasts “lo viejo pasó” (the old has passed) with “lo que viene es mucho mejor” (what comes is much better), and exclaims “ay no” (oh no) to show impatience.
- He uses references to nature and geography to create a vivid setting and mood for the story. For example, he mentions “el sol naciente” (the rising sun), “el mar rodeado de estrellas” (the sea surrounded by stars), “el canto de las palmeras” (the song of the palm trees), “la risa del horizonte” (the laughter of the horizon), “la lluvia” (the rain), “el rojo de las cayenas” (the red of the cayenne flowers), “el cielo de nubes bellas” (the sky of beautiful clouds), and “un regalo del Señor” (a gift from the Lord).
- He uses temporal expressions to indicate that everything has its time and that patience is key. For example, he says “todo tiene su hora” (everything has its time), “debajo del sol naciente espera tu amor bendito” (under the rising sun waits your blessed love), “de nada vale ser impaciente” (it is not worth being impatient), and “ya viene tu amor bendito” (your blessed love is coming).
- He uses personal pronouns and vocatives to address the person directly and create a close relationship. For example, he says “tú me dices” (you tell me), “yo te digo” (I tell you), “tú no sabes” (you don’t know), “pon tu cara de alegría” (put your face of joy), “vístete con mi canción” (dress up with my song), and “cariño” (darling).
- He uses nouns and verbs to describe what happened to the person, what he advises them to do, and what will happen to them. For example, he says “tu corazón ha sufrido tanto que no le queda la ilusión para amar otra vez” (your heart has suffered so much that it does not have the illusion to love again), “has llorado sin consuelo que no encuentras la razón” (you have cried without consolation that you do not find the reason), “pero con el buen amor solo hay que creer” (but with good love you only have to believe), "recuerda siempre lo viejo paso, cariño".
