Portales

Dani Martin's song 'Portales' is a passionate ode to a love that is both intense and tumultuous. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship filled with raw emotion, where moments of intimacy and conflict coexist. The song opens with a reference to John Lennon and Yoko Ono, symbolizing a deep and artistic connection between the lovers. The mention of 'Let It Be' sets a nostalgic tone, suggesting a desire to freeze time and savor the present moment.

The recurring theme of hiding in 'portales' (doorways or portals) serves as a metaphor for the private, hidden aspects of their relationship. These secretive encounters are filled with fervent kisses and passionate reconciliations, highlighting the cyclical nature of their love. The lyrics also touch on the jealousy and possessiveness that come with such intense emotions, as well as the fear and vulnerability that accompany deep affection. The line 'Strawberry Fields' evokes a sense of surreal, dreamlike love that is hard to define or contain.

The song's chorus emphasizes the desire for these moments to never end, for the 'portales eternos' (eternal portals) to remain open forever. The lovers' interactions are described as animalistic and primal, underscoring the raw, unfiltered nature of their connection. Despite the ups and downs, the song ultimately celebrates the beauty of having 'so many things to say' and the endless possibilities that lie ahead. 'Portales' captures the essence of a love that is both chaotic and beautiful, a love that thrives in the hidden corners of life.
