Nocturna

Anabantha's 'Nocturna' is a hauntingly beautiful song that delves into themes of eternal longing, love, and the ethereal nature of existence. The lyrics paint a picture of a dark, infinite night where the protagonist is enveloped by the aroma and presence of a mysterious figure. This figure seems to have a bewitching effect, transforming the protagonist into an illusion, an immortal being, lost in worlds of oblivion where even solitude cannot reach them. The imagery of 'infinito y fugaz' (infinite and fleeting) and 'obscuro mirar' (dark gaze) sets a tone of melancholy and mystique, suggesting a love that is both eternal and elusive.

The song continues to explore the duality of light and shadow, with the protagonist finding the image of their beloved amidst the darkness. This interplay between light and shadow symbolizes the fleeting moments of clarity and connection in an otherwise obscure and uncertain existence. The repeated encounters with the beloved in the shadows highlight a cyclical pattern of longing and reunion, underscoring the idea that true connection is rare and often found in the most unexpected places.

The chorus, with its plea for passion and the spirit's cry to know where the beloved will go, adds a layer of desperation and yearning. The mention of a hidden sky and nights of love in a star that never shone suggests unfulfilled dreams and desires. The repetition of 'clamando pasion' (crying out for passion) and 'llorando quisá' (perhaps crying) emphasizes the depth of the protagonist's emotional turmoil. The song's conclusion, with the phrase 'Todo otra vez' (everything again), implies a never-ending cycle of longing and searching, capturing the essence of an eternal, unfulfilled love.
