A viajar!
Denisse Malebran
Embarking on a Journey of Love and Self-Discovery
Denisse Malebran's song 'A viajar!' is a poetic invitation to embark on a journey, both literal and metaphorical. The lyrics open with the preparation for a new voyage, where the protagonist packs not just physical items but also emotional baggage like doubts and anxiety. This sets the stage for a journey that is as much about self-discovery and overcoming personal obstacles as it is about physical travel. The mention of 'peajes' (tolls) and 'demoras' (delays) symbolizes the inevitable challenges and setbacks one faces in life, yet these are part of the journey itself.
The song takes a turn towards intimacy and connection when the protagonist encounters another person. The line 'me encuentro en tu caminar' (I find myself in your walk) suggests that this journey is not solitary; it is shared with a significant other. The lyrics 'es hoy, el tiempo de los dos' (today is the time for both of us) emphasize the importance of the present moment and the shared experience. This connection is further deepened with the invitation to travel together, symbolizing a partnership that is ready to face life's uncertainties and adventures together.
The chorus, with its repetitive 'te invito a viajar' (I invite you to travel), serves as a heartfelt plea for companionship and mutual exploration. The mention of 'tatuajes' (tattoos) and 'cicatrices' (scars) adds layers of meaning, indicating past experiences and wounds that have shaped the individuals. Yet, the promise to 'invent other landscapes' suggests a hopeful future where new memories and experiences can be created together. The song beautifully captures the essence of love, resilience, and the transformative power of shared journeys.
