Aguamarina

Eduardo Gatti's song 'Aguamarina' is a poetic exploration of nature, time, and the interconnectedness of all things. The lyrics are rich with imagery, starting with 'Soles y espirales, el primer día del mundo,' which translates to 'Suns and spirals, the first day of the world.' This line sets the stage for a journey back to the origins of existence, where the natural elements like the sun and spirals symbolize the cyclical nature of life and the universe.

The song continues with vivid descriptions of 'pescaditos chiquitos, pescaditos inmensos,' or 'little fish, immense fish,' and 'arenas, cristales, tus ojos bosquejados,' meaning 'sands, crystals, your sketched eyes.' These lines evoke a sense of wonder and beauty in the natural world, suggesting that even the smallest creatures and elements are part of a grand, interconnected tapestry. The mention of 'tus ojos bosquejados en playas del futuro' ('your sketched eyes on the beaches of the future') hints at a timeless connection between the past, present, and future.

As the song progresses, it delves into more metaphysical themes. The line 'nubes de lluvia y pena que tus lágrimas son fruto de aquel punto distante en que todo era uno y lo mismo' translates to 'clouds of rain and sorrow that your tears are the fruit of that distant point where everything was one and the same.' This suggests a return to a primordial state of unity, where all things were interconnected. The imagery of 'caracolito sube, espiral de luna brilla en tu mejilla hermosa' ('little snail climbs, moon spiral shines on your beautiful cheek') further emphasizes the cyclical and eternal nature of existence.

In the final lines, 'Y así los gusanitos llegan hasta tus huesos p'a convertirlo en piedra y en ángulo de sueños, volver a ser peces moviéndose en el agua de una placenta inmensa de estrellas y angelitos,' Gatti paints a picture of transformation and rebirth. The 'gusanitos' (little worms) turning bones into stone and angles of dreams symbolize the continuous cycle of life, death, and rebirth. The idea of returning to be fish moving in the water of an immense placenta of stars and little angels suggests a cosmic, almost spiritual rebirth, where life is an eternal cycle within the universe.
