Cabalgata

Eddie Santiago's song 'Cabalgata' is a vivid and passionate portrayal of a romantic night filled with deep connection and intimacy. The lyrics describe a journey, both literal and metaphorical, where the singer and his lover embark on a night-long adventure. The use of the word 'cabalgata,' which translates to 'ride' or 'journey,' sets the tone for a night of exploration and closeness. The imagery of riding through a colorful path and giving kisses in an 'atrevida' (daring) manner suggests a sense of excitement and boldness in their relationship.

The song continues to delve into the physical and emotional aspects of their connection. The singer talks about holding onto his lover's hair to avoid falling during their 'galope' (gallop), symbolizing the intensity and fervor of their bond. This physical closeness is paralleled by the emotional fulfillment he seeks, as he aims to satisfy his desires before the break of dawn. The lyrics 'Me perdere de madrugada' (I will lose myself at dawn) and 'Me acostare en tu regazo' (I will lie in your lap) highlight the comfort and safety he finds in his lover's embrace.

As the night progresses, the song reflects on the transformative power of their love. The stars are personified, coming closer to witness if they still shine after the couple's night together. This suggests that their love is so powerful it could even affect the cosmos. The singer feels like a giant who has seen the world through the eyes of a child, indicating a sense of wonder and awe. The final lines, 'Cabalgare sobre tu cuerpo' (I will ride over your body), reinforce the physical and emotional journey they share, culminating in a profound connection that transcends the night and welcomes the dawn.
