Flores y Vino

Bely Basarte's song 'Flores y Vino' is a poignant exploration of personal transformation and self-discovery. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a journey from sorrow to empowerment. The opening lines, 'Brilla en la oscuridad la última de mis lágrimas,' suggest a moment of finality and release, as the last tear shines in the darkness. This sets the stage for a narrative of change, where the protagonist is no longer who they were yesterday by the time the sun sets again.

The recurring imagery of drinking from a river 'sedienta de olvido' (thirsty for forgetfulness) symbolizes a deep desire to wash away past pains and memories. The 'Flores y vino' (flowers and wine) serve as metaphors for the beauty and indulgence that accompany this process of healing and self-care. The protagonist's journey is not just about forgetting but also about embracing new experiences and pleasures that life has to offer.

As the song progresses, the lyrics reveal a newfound strength and self-acceptance. The lines 'Con lo que yo fui y lo que yo soy / Lo que yo seré no tiene miedo' reflect a fearless embrace of the future, unburdened by past insecurities. The autumn imagery, 'liberada en un otoño eterno,' suggests a perpetual state of transformation and renewal. The protagonist's declaration, 'Me gusto para mí, me gusta el mí sin ti,' underscores a powerful message of self-love and independence.

The song culminates in a triumphant affirmation of self-worth and resilience. The repeated vow, 'Voy a volver, voy a querer, voy a volver a quererme,' signifies a commitment to self-love and personal growth. By leaving behind past complexes and sacrifices, the protagonist emerges stronger and more self-assured. 'Flores y Vino' is a celebration of rebirth, self-discovery, and the enduring journey towards self-acceptance.
