Balada Por Un Amor
Daniela Romo
The Fragile Dance of Love and Vulnerability in 'Balada Por Un Amor'
Daniela Romo's 'Balada Por Un Amor' is a poignant exploration of love, vulnerability, and the human desire for genuine connection. The song opens with the lines 'Solamente tú / Puedes desquiciarme toda,' immediately setting the tone for a deeply personal and emotional journey. Romo expresses a fear of being alone and a longing for someone who can break through her solitude. This sentiment is further emphasized with the repeated mention of 'miedo' (fear), highlighting her apprehension about love and the potential for self-deception.
The chorus reveals a desire for authenticity in love, as Romo sings, 'Ya no quiero enamorarme / Simplemente y solo del amor.' She seeks a love that is real and tangible, not just an idealized version of it. The plea 'Convénceme / Ayúdame a creer' underscores her need for reassurance and support in believing in love again. This reflects a universal human experience— the struggle to trust and open up after being hurt or disappointed.
In the second verse, Romo delves deeper into her vulnerability, admitting to feeling fragile and on the verge of tears. The lines 'Qué tranquilidad / Mirarme en otros ojos viva' suggest that she finds solace and a sense of being alive when she sees herself through the eyes of another. This duality of fragility and tranquility captures the essence of human relationships, where vulnerability can lead to profound connection and understanding. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of her humanity and simplicity, 'Solo soy un ser humano / Solo soy una simple mujer,' seeking to be loved for who she truly is.
'Balada Por Un Amor' is a beautiful and introspective ballad that resonates with anyone who has ever grappled with the complexities of love and the courage it takes to believe in it again.
