Levantando Polvadera

Alta Consigna's 'Levantando Polvadera' is a heartfelt serenade that captures the essence of passionate love and longing. The song's lyrics are a vivid portrayal of a man deeply enamored with a woman, expressing his feelings through poetic metaphors and vivid imagery. The phrase 'Levantando Polvadera,' which translates to 'raising dust,' symbolizes the commotion and excitement the man feels in his heart whenever he thinks about or sees the woman he loves.

The song opens with the protagonist presenting flowers to his beloved, despite being intoxicated, indicating that his feelings are so strong that they persist regardless of his state. This act of giving flowers is a traditional romantic gesture, emphasizing his genuine affection. The repetition of being 'borracho' (drunk) and the promise that it will be 'doble' (double) the next day suggests that his love and emotions are overwhelming and uncontrollable.

Throughout the song, the man describes how the woman's presence ignites his dreams and how he considers her the owner of all his loves. This metaphorical language highlights the depth of his infatuation. He admits to 'pisteando botes' (drinking cans) and 'levantando Polvadera' (raising dust) as a way to cope with his intense feelings. The imagery of her eyes as stars descending from the sky and her smile bringing him to his knees ('pecho tierra') further illustrates the profound impact she has on him. The song encapsulates the themes of love, desire, and the lengths one will go to express and cope with such powerful emotions.
