Lisboa-Madrid (feat. Jorge Drexler)
ANAVITÓRIA
The Intimate Universe of Love in 'Lisboa-Madrid'
The song 'Lisboa-Madrid' by ANAVITÓRIA, featuring Jorge Drexler, is a poetic exploration of the desire for closeness and the intensity of love. The lyrics express a longing to turn a simple room into an entire universe where the lovers can exist without the need for anything else. This metaphor suggests a deep connection and contentment found in the presence of the loved one, where the external world fades away and their shared space becomes all-encompassing.
The repeated wish to stay in this room 'la vida entera' (the entire life) highlights the desire for permanence in a moment of intimacy. The phrase 'sin alejarme más de tu querer perverso' (without moving away from your perverse love) could imply a love that is overwhelming and consuming, yet irresistible. The song also touches on the pain of distance and the yearning to bridge that gap, as seen in the lines about wanting to enter the screen and touch the other's lips, reflecting the modern struggle of long-distance relationships and the reliance on technology for connection.
The chorus, 'Vuelve a jurarme que es real' (Swear to me again that it's real), conveys a need for reassurance in the relationship, seeking confirmation that the feelings are mutual. The intensity of the emotion is further emphasized by the declaration 'Te quiero casi con dolor' (I love you almost with pain), suggesting that the depth of their love borders on the unbearable. The song ends with a simple yet powerful affirmation of their sole purpose: 'Sin otro fin que amar' (With no other end but to love), reinforcing the theme of love as the ultimate reason for being.
