Esclavos Del Reloj [ft Yolandita Monge & Voltio]

Arcángel's song 'Esclavos Del Reloj,' featuring Yolandita Monge and Voltio, delves into the complexities of a clandestine love affair constrained by time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two lovers who must constantly battle the clock to find moments of intimacy. The opening lines, 'Faltan diez para las cinco, nos tenemos que vestir de nuevo,' set the stage for a relationship that is perpetually rushed and hidden. The lovers are 'esclavos del reloj'—slaves to the clock—never able to fully enjoy their time together as they are always on the verge of parting ways.

The song explores the emotional turmoil and longing that come with a secret relationship. The lines 'ponle seguro a la puerta de la habitacion, que se nos hace corto el tiempo' emphasize the urgency and fleeting nature of their encounters. Despite the complications and the need to keep their love hidden, the protagonists find solace and happiness in their brief moments together. The repeated phrase 'hagamos el amor en la alcoba, ya mismo te tienes que ir' underscores the bittersweet reality of their situation—they must part just when their desire peaks.

Cultural and emotional layers are added through the collaboration with Yolandita Monge and Voltio, who bring their unique styles to the song. The lyrics 'amor en silencio, esclavos del reloj, llevando en secreto, nuestra relacion' highlight the secrecy and the emotional weight of their love. The song captures the essence of forbidden love, where every stolen moment is both a joy and a torment. The recurring theme of time slipping away adds a poignant touch, making 'Esclavos Del Reloj' a compelling narrative of love constrained by circumstances.
