Tocando Madera

Conchita Conchita

Embracing Love with Courage and Charm

Conchita's song "Tocando Madera" is a heartfelt exploration of the emotions and rituals associated with confessing love. The title, which translates to "Touching Wood," refers to the superstition of knocking on wood for good luck. This sets the tone for the song, where the protagonist is preparing herself both mentally and physically to express her feelings to someone she deeply cares about.

The lyrics describe various superstitious and symbolic actions the protagonist takes to ensure her confession goes well. She crosses her fingers, wears something red, and dons a new outfit, all while touching wood. These actions symbolize her desire to control the uncontrollable aspects of love and fate. The repeated phrase "cojo aire, te miro, respiro" (I take a breath, look at you, breathe) emphasizes the nervous anticipation and the courage she musters to finally reveal her feelings.

The song also touches on the universal theme of vulnerability in love. The protagonist acknowledges that others have confessed their love without much thought, yet for her, it feels incredibly complicated. This contrast highlights the personal significance and emotional weight of her feelings. The recurring line "desde que te vi mi cuerpo, no para de bailar" (since I saw you, my body hasn't stopped dancing) beautifully captures the joy and excitement that love brings, making it clear that her feelings are genuine and deeply felt.

Overall, "Tocando Madera" is a charming and relatable song that delves into the rituals, superstitions, and emotional rollercoaster of confessing love. Conchita's warm and sincere delivery makes the song resonate with anyone who has ever felt the butterflies of a new romance.
