De Los Enamorados

Alejandro Filio's song 'De Los Enamorados' delves into the complex and often elusive nature of love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that is both deeply felt and perpetually out of reach. The opening lines set a melancholic tone, describing an evening colored like ash and the fleeting nature of time, symbolized by the image of six o'clock flying like an untouched bird. This imagery suggests a sense of longing and the ephemeral quality of moments shared with a loved one.

The song continues to explore the theme of searching and inventing love. Filio writes the beloved's name on a wall, a metaphor for trying to make a transient feeling permanent. He leaves her voice in the dark, indicating that his memories of her are both cherished and haunting. The repeated lines 'Te busco, te invento' (I search for you, I invent you) highlight the duality of love as both a real and imagined experience. This duality is further emphasized by the idea that no step can catch up with those in love, suggesting that love is always just out of reach, no matter how hard one tries to grasp it.

The song also touches on the sacrifices made in the pursuit of love. Filio describes giving himself completely to find her, only to realize that the morning has come and gone, leaving him with more sorrow than joy. The imagery of seeking warmth in her hair but finding only fleeting comfort underscores the bittersweet nature of love. The final verses reflect on the fleeting happiness he sometimes sees in his world, only to find that it was an illusion when he returns to reality. This cyclical pattern of hope and disillusionment captures the essence of the human experience of love, making 'De Los Enamorados' a poignant reflection on the joys and sorrows of romantic pursuit.
