Deshojando Margaritas

Amores Tangos' song 'Deshojando Margaritas' delves into the emotional turbulence of love, fear, and hope. The lyrics express a deep sense of vulnerability and apprehension, as the narrator repeatedly confesses their fears: fear of the loved one not being there, fear of not being able to achieve their desires, and fear of losing the chance to reconnect. This recurring theme of fear is juxtaposed with moments of hope and resilience, as the narrator continues to wash their clothes and hang them out to dry, symbolizing a fresh start and the persistence of hope despite uncertainties.

The act of 'deshojar la margarita' (plucking the daisy) is a metaphor for seeking answers about love, traditionally used to determine if someone loves you or not. However, in this song, the narrator decides not to ask the daisy about their loved one, indicating a shift from seeking external validation to finding inner strength and acceptance. The imagery of dancing to the rhythm of the drums and feeling content with a kiss, whether gained or lost, highlights a celebration of the present moment and the joy found in the journey of love, regardless of its outcome.

The song also touches on themes of gratitude and the fleeting nature of opportunities. The narrator thanks their loved one for their presence and the simple act of holding hands, even if it was without reason. This gratitude is coupled with the imagery of leaving a bar with chairs turned upside down, symbolizing the end of one opportunity and the beginning of another as a new bar opens. The song concludes with a renewed sense of hope and determination, as the narrator embraces the leftover petal of their loved one's laughter and continues to dance, driven by the desire to keep moving forward despite the chaos and uncertainty of love.
