Dame Vida

Cherito's song 'Dame Vida' is a heartfelt plea for love and renewal. The lyrics express a deep sense of longing and dependency on a significant other. The opening lines, 'Y si al pensar en ti me afecta los sentidos / Mi vida no tiene vida, si tu no estas amor,' reveal the profound impact that the absence of a loved one has on the narrator. The use of the phrase 'mi vida no tiene vida' underscores the emptiness and lack of purpose felt without the presence of their beloved. This sets the tone for a song that is both a lament and a desperate call for reconciliation.

The song delves into the mutual feelings of the narrator and their partner, highlighting the shared dreams and illusions that were once planted in their relationship. 'Si supieras que tambien siento lo mismo / Si supieras cuantas ilusiones habia sembrado en ti' suggests that both parties are aware of the love and dreams they once shared. However, the relationship has been marred by misunderstandings and emotional distance, as indicated by 'De astio te llenaste tu / Era tiempo que en la oscuridad pudieras ver la luz.' This line metaphorically speaks to the partner's weariness and the need for enlightenment and clarity to rekindle their love.

The chorus, 'Vida, dame vida / Dame un poco de la magia que nuestro amor ceñia,' is a poignant request for the revival of the magic that once defined their love. The repetition of 'vida' (life) emphasizes the narrator's desperation for a return to the vitality and joy that their relationship once brought. The song concludes with a plea for guidance on how to forget the love that was so unique and irreplaceable, 'Oh dime como he de olvidar que tu / Si solo tu (mi unico amor) me sabes amar por siempre.' This final line encapsulates the enduring nature of their love and the difficulty of moving on from such a profound connection.
