Movimientos

Enrique Quezadas' song 'Movimientos' is a poetic exploration of love, vulnerability, and the transformative power of genuine connection. The lyrics are rich with metaphors and vivid imagery, painting a picture of a deep emotional journey. The song begins with the line 'Aqui senti clarito cuando se escucho, El ruido de montaña que hace el amor,' which translates to 'Here I felt clearly when the noise of the mountain that love makes was heard.' This metaphor suggests that love is a powerful, almost overwhelming force, akin to the sound of a mountain. It sets the tone for the rest of the song, emphasizing the intensity and sincerity of the emotions involved.

The lyrics continue to delve into the theme of vulnerability and the desire for closeness. Phrases like 'La espada de la luz, abriendo al ojo ciego' ('The sword of light, opening the blind eye') and 'Hasta dejar marcada, la carta de mi amor' ('Until leaving marked, the letter of my love') highlight the transformative and revealing nature of love. The singer expresses a longing to be completely open and honest, to the point of leaving a lasting impression on the beloved. This openness is further emphasized by the line 'Para planchar, en las arrugas de mi cielo' ('To iron out the wrinkles of my sky'), suggesting a desire to smooth out any imperfections and create a perfect space for love to flourish.

The chorus, 'Si lento, va el tiempo de este corazon, Cargando con mi amor, el peso de los dos, Tendrias que hacer movimientos, Que los mios los hare yo,' translates to 'If slowly, the time of this heart goes, Carrying with my love, the weight of the two, You would have to make movements, That I will make mine.' This part of the song underscores the mutual effort required in a relationship. It acknowledges that love is not just about feelings but also about actions and movements, a dance that both partners must participate in to keep the relationship alive and thriving. The repetition of 'Que los mios los hare yo' ('That I will make mine') reinforces the singer's commitment to doing his part in this dance of love.

'Quezadas' musical style, often characterized by its poetic and introspective lyrics, complements the themes of 'Movimientos' perfectly. The song is a beautiful reminder of the power of love to transform, heal, and bring people closer together, even in the face of life's challenges.
