A escondidas

Agrupación Marilyn's song 'A escondidas' delves into the complexities and emotional turmoil of a clandestine love affair. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two individuals who are deeply infatuated with each other but are bound by their existing relationships. The phrase 'amor a escondidas' (hidden love) encapsulates the essence of their secretive and forbidden romance. The song's narrative revolves around the thrill and danger of meeting in secret, away from the prying eyes of their respective partners.

The song's protagonist acknowledges the impossibility of a legitimate relationship with the woman he loves, as she is already committed to someone else. Despite this, he confesses that she is the woman of his dreams, highlighting the depth of his feelings. The recurring rendezvous on Saturday afternoons at six o'clock becomes a symbol of their stolen moments of passion. The lyrics 'para hacer el amor, para matarnos en un cuarto de hotel' (to make love, to kill ourselves in a hotel room) suggest an intense, almost destructive, desire that consumes them both.

'A escondidas' also touches on the emotional conflict and moral ambiguity inherent in such relationships. The protagonists are aware of the deceit involved, yet they are unable to resist the magnetic pull of their attraction. The song captures the essence of forbidden love, where the excitement of secrecy and the fear of being discovered add to the intensity of their emotions. Agrupación Marilyn's musical style, characterized by its catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics, amplifies the emotional weight of the song, making it a poignant exploration of love, desire, and the human condition.
