A Serenade to the Princess of Nature
The song 'Princesa' by Alerta is a heartfelt serenade that celebrates the beauty and simplicity of love. The lyrics are a direct and sincere expression of admiration and affection towards a woman referred to as 'princesa,' a term that elevates her to a regal status. The repetition of words like 'belleza,' 'lindura,' and 'nobleza máxima' emphasizes her unparalleled beauty and grace, portraying her as a perfect creation of nature.
The song's simplicity is mirrored in its message: love is straightforward and pure. The singer confesses his feelings, stating that he has been enamored with her since the first time he saw her. This long-awaited moment to express his love feels eternal, highlighting the depth of his emotions. The use of the word 'eterno' (eternal) underscores the timeless nature of his affection.
The lyrics also convey a sense of longing and desire to be with the 'princesa.' The singer dreams of her and thinks about her constantly, expressing a wish to be close to her. The song suggests that love is a mutual feeling, making it easier for both parties if they reciprocate each other's feelings. The repeated phrase 'si tú me quieres, yo ya te quiero' (if you love me, I already love you) encapsulates this idea of mutual affection.
The song concludes with an invitation for the 'princesa' to listen to the song and feel the vibrations of the 'rasta' in her heart, adding a cultural touch that connects the music to a broader context of reggae and Rastafarian influences. This final touch reinforces the song's theme of love as a natural and harmonious force.
