The song La Carretera by Julio Iglesias is about a man who is driving on a rainy night, looking for his lost love. He remembers his past with her and the moments they shared. He feels jealous of her being with someone else and is consumed by thoughts of her. Throughout the song, he is driving faster and faster, trying to get to where she might be. He is lost in his own thoughts, imagining scenarios and questioning if she is still waiting for him. The lyrics also mention the sights and sounds he experiences while driving, such as the lights of passing cars, the noise of trucks, and the towns and hotels he passes. Ultimately, he runs out of gas and is left alone to dwell on his thoughts. The song portrays a heartbreakingly emotional journey of a man searching for his true love, while also highlighting the isolation and confusion that comes with such a search.
