Morocha

The song 'Morocha' by Enfrascos is a poignant exploration of a complicated and distant love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that is both beautiful and painful, filled with longing and unfulfilled desires. The narrator walks through the neighborhood, smoking a cigar, and reflecting on the separation between him and his beloved. The physical distance between them, with him in La Plata and her in Belgrano, symbolizes the emotional gap that has grown between them. This separation is a source of deep sorrow for the narrator, who feels the days slipping by without her presence.

The chorus reveals the narrator's deep affection for his 'morocha,' a term of endearment for a dark-haired woman. He sings to her, expressing how her body envelops him in a shroud of melodies, songs, and tears. Despite the pain and confusion he feels, especially when he doesn't understand her whims, he remains resilient, ready to pick himself up after every fall. This resilience is a testament to his enduring love and hope that things might change.

The song also delves into the inevitability of change and decay, comparing their love to a beautiful rose that must eventually wither. The narrator is searching for connection, but his beloved seems to be avoiding him, her warm kisses growing cold. The absence of a full moon to cover her absence and the rain that hasn't fallen in a long time are metaphors for the emotional drought he is experiencing. The song concludes with the narrator feeling like he is losing his way, unable to anchor himself in her heart, and acknowledging the transient nature of even the most beautiful things.
