Maravillosa criatura

Sergio Dalma's song 'Maravillosa criatura' is a poetic ode to the overwhelming beauty and intensity of love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a lover's journey through various natural landscapes, symbolizing the lengths one would go to be with their beloved. The imagery of crossing seas and mountains, and braving winds and storms, underscores the idea of love as a powerful force that drives individuals to overcome any obstacle.

The chorus, with its repeated phrase 'Maravillosa criatura' (Wonderful creature), highlights the awe and admiration the singer feels for their partner. This admiration is so profound that it borders on a 'maravillosa locura' (wonderful madness), capturing the intoxicating and sometimes irrational nature of love. The lover's gaze is described as 'dos soles quemando el alba' (two suns burning the dawn), a metaphor that conveys the intense and consuming passion they feel.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of light and brightness, symbolizing the joy and vitality that love brings into the singer's life. The desire to be as close as the moon to their beloved, to 'acariciarte' (caress you), and the plea for the beloved not to wake up, suggests a wish to remain in this dreamlike state of bliss forever. Sergio Dalma's emotive delivery and the lyrical content together create a powerful expression of love's enchantment and the profound impact it has on one's life.
