El Cisne

Enigma Norteño's 'El Cisne' is a poignant ballad that delves into themes of love, sorrow, and the bittersweet nature of artistic expression. The song's title, which translates to 'The Swan,' is a metaphorical reference to the legend of the swan song, an ancient belief that swans sing a beautiful and haunting melody just before their death. This metaphor is used to convey the depth of the singer's emotions and the intensity of their love.

The lyrics speak of a quiet night, a setting that amplifies the plea for love and understanding. The repetition of 'Amame mucho que asi amo yo' which means 'Love me a lot, as I love you,' emphasizes the singer's yearning for a love that matches the passion and depth of their own feelings. The mention of singing not as a sign of happiness but as an expression of the heart's true state suggests that the artist uses their music as a means to communicate inner turmoil and longing.

The song also paints a vivid image of the object of the singer's affection, 'Morena de ojasos negros,' a woman with captivating black eyes. This description adds a layer of personal longing to the song, as it becomes clear that the singer's profound love is directed towards someone specific. The juxtaposition of the singer's sorrowful state with the allure of the beloved creates a powerful emotional landscape that resonates with listeners who have experienced unrequited love or the pain of deep affection.
