The Allure of Forbidden Love in 'Los Angeles También Pecan'
Edurne's song 'Los Angeles También Pecan' delves into the intoxicating and often forbidden nature of passionate love. The lyrics invite the listener to a place of unrestrained desire, where the boundaries between heaven and hell blur. The opening lines, 'Voy a llevarte a un lugar / Del que nunca escaparás,' set the stage for a journey into a realm where love and sin intertwine. The singer promises to give herself completely if her lover can meet her expectations, suggesting a mutual exchange of deep, almost spiritual connection.
The recurring theme of 'pecar' (to sin) is central to the song, emphasizing that even angels, beings typically associated with purity and virtue, are not immune to the temptations of the flesh. This metaphor serves to normalize human desires, suggesting that feeling and experiencing love, even in its most carnal forms, is a natural part of existence. The lines 'Es un pecado no pecar / Los ángeles pecan también' reinforce this idea, portraying sin as an essential, almost divine, aspect of love.
The imagery of 'Dos cuerpos en la oscuridad' (Two bodies in the dark) and 'Mi cielo se partió en dos' (My sky split in two) evokes a sense of unity and transformation through love. The singer describes a profound connection that transcends physical boundaries, merging two souls into one. The song's climax, where the singer declares she has seen the light and awakened from her dream, signifies a moment of realization and acceptance of this all-consuming love. By the end, the notion that 'Los ángeles pecan también' (Angels also sin) is not just a statement but a celebration of the human experience of love and desire.
