Ojos de Nacar

Banda Registrada's song 'Ojos de Nacar' is a poetic exploration of transformation, longing, and the ethereal beauty of a significant other. The lyrics open with a declaration of personal change, hinting at a journey from a state of despair to one of hope and renewal. The mention of 'esclavos sueños, recuperados' (enslaved dreams, recovered) suggests a liberation from past constraints, and the presence of hope with every step taken.

The metaphor of the beloved being like 'agua en el desierto de mi sed' (water in the desert of my thirst) underscores the deep need and yearning the narrator feels. This person is not just a source of comfort but a vital element for the narrator's survival and well-being. The imagery of 'Ojos de nacar' (mother-of-pearl eyes) and 'rubia y dorada' (blonde and golden) paints a picture of someone radiant and precious, akin to the sky before dawn, symbolizing a new beginning or a fresh start.

As the song progresses, the beloved is described as walking 'sola y descalza entre las playas dentro de mi alma' (alone and barefoot among the beaches within my soul), highlighting a sense of intimacy and vulnerability. The beloved's brilliance, likened to a star shining in the narrator's unconscious nights, suggests a guiding light or a beacon in times of darkness. However, the song concludes on a poignant note, with the beloved's 'ojos de nacar' no longer looking at the narrator, leaving them with an unquenchable thirst, symbolizing a profound sense of loss and longing.
