Júrame

In 'Júrame,' Alondra de La Parra delivers a poignant and passionate plea for eternal love. The song's lyrics revolve around the narrator's deep and consuming affection for their beloved, a love so intense that it defies the disbelief of others. The opening lines reveal that people doubt the narrator's feelings, suggesting that they have never seen them so deeply in love before. This sets the stage for a heartfelt confession, where the narrator admits their own bewilderment at the power of their beloved's gaze, which has captivated them entirely.

The song delves into the narrator's emotional state when they are near their beloved, expressing contentment and a desire for exclusivity. The narrator's jealousy is palpable, extending even to the thoughts that might remind their beloved of someone else. This intense possessiveness underscores the depth of their feelings and the fear of losing the person they love. The repeated plea for their beloved to 'Júrame' (swear to me) that they will always remember the moment they met highlights the narrator's desperation for reassurance and the permanence of their love.

As the song progresses, the narrator's longing becomes even more evident. They ask their beloved to look at them, emphasizing that there is nothing deeper or greater in the world than the love they have given. The requests for a kiss and to be loved 'hasta la locura' (to the point of madness) further illustrate the narrator's intense desire for a reciprocated and all-consuming love. The song concludes with a reiteration of the disbelief others have in the narrator's love, reinforcing the idea that their feelings are profound and extraordinary. 'Júrame' is a beautiful and emotional exploration of love, longing, and the need for validation in a relationship.
