El embrujo

El embrujo, performed by Caribeños de Guadalupe, is a passionate song that delves into the depths of love and longing. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person waiting by the sea, yearning for their beloved. This imagery of waiting by the sea symbolizes the vastness of their love and the endless anticipation they feel. The repetition of waiting 'today just like yesterday' emphasizes the constancy and unwavering nature of their affection.

The song explores the transformative power of love, as the protagonist admits to changing because of their beloved. This change is so profound that others notice and comment on it. The lyrics suggest that the protagonist's happiness is entirely dependent on the presence of their loved one, highlighting the intensity of their emotions. The use of the word 'embrujado' (bewitched) adds a mystical element to the song, suggesting that the love they feel is so powerful it seems almost magical or otherworldly.

The chorus reinforces this idea of enchantment, with the protagonist expressing a desire to remain under this spell forever. They are content and happy in their state of being 'hechizado' (enchanted) and 'encantado' (charmed) by their beloved. The plea to not break this spell underscores the fear of losing this profound connection. The song beautifully captures the essence of being deeply in love, where the beloved becomes the center of one's universe, and their presence or absence dictates one's happiness.
