The Liberating Breeze of Love in 'Como El Viento'
In 'Como El Viento,' Depedro crafts a poetic ode to the transformative power of love. The song's lyrics convey a deep sense of contentment and freedom that the narrator experiences solely in the presence of their beloved. The repeated line, 'Solo contigo, solo soy feliz si yo te miro,' underscores the idea that true happiness is found in the simple act of being with the one they love. This sentiment is further amplified by the metaphor of feeling 'como el viento' (like the wind), suggesting a sense of liberation and lightness that love brings to the narrator's life.
The song also touches on the resilience and strength of the beloved, who faces daily struggles and mediocrity with unwavering determination. The lines, 'Siempre luchando entre toda esta mediocridad, siempre aguantando a los que te quieren pisar,' highlight the beloved's perseverance in the face of adversity. This portrayal adds depth to the relationship, showing that the beloved's inner strength is a source of inspiration and admiration for the narrator.
Additionally, the song reflects on the selflessness of the beloved, who gives everything to others without keeping anything for themselves. The poignant question, 'Pero me pregunto cuánto para ti te va a quedar,' reveals the narrator's concern for the beloved's well-being. This selflessness is depicted as a never-ending journey, 'un camino que no tiene final,' emphasizing the ongoing nature of their generosity and the boundless love that the narrator feels in return.
