Ángel

Elefante's song 'Ángel' is a poetic exploration of an unexpected encounter that blossoms into a transformative love. The lyrics begin with the protagonist finding someone unexpectedly in the early hours, a time often associated with introspection and vulnerability. This chance meeting is portrayed as a pivotal moment, one that was not sought after but proved to be significant. The use of the phrase 'Te encontré' (I found you) suggests a sense of destiny or serendipity in their meeting.

The song continues to describe the protagonist's past experiences with love, which were superficial and unfulfilling ('amores de mentiras' and 'besos de papel'). The narrator admits to being a skeptic, not believing in fairy tales or enchanted princesses, which metaphorically represents a disbelief in true love or perfect relationships. However, the encounter with this 'angel' has broken through their defenses, suggesting a powerful and unexpected connection that has changed their perspective on love.

The chorus of 'Ángel' is a declaration of the profound impact this person has on the narrator. Described as someone who can take them to the moon, calm their madness, and burn their skin, the lyrics use celestial and sensory imagery to convey the depth of their feelings. The 'angel of the dawn' and 'the tattoo of my soul' are metaphors that express a deep and permanent connection, indicating that this love has left an indelible mark on the narrator's being. The repetition of 'Y eres tú, siempre tú' (And it's you, always you) emphasizes the centrality of this person in the narrator's life, suggesting a love that is both transformative and enduring.
