Susana

Aramis Camilo's song 'Susana' is a vivid portrayal of a romantic evening constantly disrupted by external interruptions. The lyrics paint a picture of a meticulously planned night, with tender music, dim lighting, and champagne, all set to create the perfect atmosphere for a romantic encounter. The protagonist is deeply infatuated with Susana, as evidenced by the repeated refrain, 'Estoy loco por tu amor' (I'm crazy for your love). This phrase underscores the intensity of his feelings and his longing for uninterrupted time with her.

However, the evening does not go as planned. The first interruption comes from a phone call, which shatters the intimate moment. The protagonist's frustration is palpable as he laments the intrusion. This is followed by another disruption, this time from a telegram delivery, further breaking the romantic spell. Each interruption serves as a metaphor for the unpredictability and uncontrollable nature of life, highlighting how external factors can intrude upon personal moments.

The climax of the song occurs with the announcement of a nuclear war on the radio, a dramatic and hyperbolic interruption that symbolizes the ultimate disruption. Susana's decision to leave in the face of such news adds a layer of poignancy to the song, emphasizing the fragility of human connections in the face of larger, uncontrollable events. Through 'Susana,' Aramis Camilo captures the essence of thwarted romance and the relentless nature of external disruptions, making it a relatable and emotionally charged narrative.
