A Night of Forbidden Dreams: The Poignant Romance in 'Soñemos'
Alfredo de Angelis' song 'Soñemos,' featuring Oscar Larroca, is a poignant exploration of a forbidden love that can only be fully realized in dreams. The lyrics convey a deep sense of longing and resignation, as the narrator acknowledges the impossibility of their love. Despite knowing that it is a 'sin' to love and give their heart to the beloved, the narrator chooses to embrace the fleeting joy of dreaming together for one night. This act of dreaming becomes a temporary escape from the harsh reality that awaits them upon waking.
The song's chorus emphasizes the power of dreams to create a temporary reality where the lovers are free and united. The imagery of being 'free' and experiencing the 'glory of this love' highlights the intensity and purity of their emotions. The dream allows them to imagine a world where nothing separates them, and they are like 'two souls born to love.' This metaphor of souls destined for love underscores the depth of their connection, even if it can only be fully expressed in their dreams.
However, the song also carries a sense of inevitable sorrow. The narrator is acutely aware that the morning will bring an end to their dream, and their kisses will bid farewell. This bittersweet acknowledgment of the temporary nature of their happiness adds a layer of melancholy to the song. The final lines, where the narrator accepts that their enchantment will die with their love, encapsulate the tragic beauty of their fleeting romance. 'Soñemos' is a testament to the power of dreams to provide solace and a brief respite from the pain of unattainable love.
