about
Like most of Cristobal Jimenez Van Cauwelaert of Not A Citizen’s compositions, the foundation of the track ‘Sin tus ojos, yo no te puedo ver’, had been in existence for a while, waiting in an old studio session. One night, while driving alone in his car, inspiration struck; what followed later was a studio session fuelled by nostalgia and latin guitars that turned it into this hauntingly beautiful track.
With a clear latin influence, his signature vintage percussive elements and Spanish vocals, ‘Sin tus ojos, yo no te puedo ver’ takes the listener on an obscure yet melancholic journey.
The title translates ‘without your eyes, I cannot see you’, which refers to the feeling of losing someone while not being ready to let them go. The person who leaves takes their existence and everything they are with them, including their eyes, and their visions for a joint future. As the saying goes, the eyes are the window into one’s soul, and without them, there is no connection, just nothingness, a void. This is what inspired this song.
lyrics
Sin tus ojos, yo no te puedo ver
Sin tus ojos, yo no te puedo ver
Sin tus ojos, yo no te puedo ver
Sin tus ojos, yo no te puedo ver
Sin tus ojos, yo no te puedo ver
Sin tus ojos, yo no te puedo ver
