Este Secreto

Eva Ayllón's song "Este Secreto" delves into the theme of a clandestine love affair, one that is kept hidden from the world. The lyrics speak of a secret relationship that the singer vows to never reveal, ensuring that the details of their passionate encounters remain between them alone. The repetition of the promise that 'no one will know' and the assurance that the secret will be kept for 'an eternity' underscore the importance of discretion in their affair.

The song goes on to describe the intensity of their hidden romance, with references to the physical and emotional connection they share. The lyrics evoke a sense of longing and bittersweet joy, as the lovers indulge in moments of 'fascinating sweetness' and nights filled with 'madness and adoration.' The imagery of being 'drunk with love' in the other's arms adds to the depth of their connection, which is both profound and forbidden.

Towards the end of the song, Ayllón paints a picture of the lovers' secret meetings, set against a backdrop of dim lights, poetry, and street vendors selling roses and white carnations. The mention of 'fleeing from everyone' including moralists and puritans, highlights the societal pressures and judgment they face. The refrain 'que somos amantes' (that we are lovers) is a declaration of their identity and the nature of their relationship, which is characterized by fleeting moments and an uncertain future. The song captures the essence of a love that is all-consuming yet must be kept out of sight, and the lovers' yearning for a simple 'weekend' to be together.
