Con El (feat. Jonathan Moly)
Ezio Oliva
A Secret Affair: The Lingering Memory
Ezio Oliva's song "Con El," featuring Jonathan Moly, delves into the complexities of a secret and passionate affair. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two individuals who knowingly engage in a fleeting, yet intense, relationship. They acknowledge the madness of their actions, likening it to playing with fire, and accept that their connection was never meant to be serious. Despite this, the intensity of their encounter leaves a lasting impression, one that they vow to keep as their secret.
The chorus reveals the emotional depth of the affair, as the protagonist implores their lover to remember them when they are with someone else. The repeated lines, "Cuando tu lo hagas con él, acuérdate de mi" (When you do it with him, remember me), highlight the lingering impact of their time together. The protagonist desires to be remembered, to have their presence felt even when their lover is with another person. This longing is further emphasized by the imagery of shared kisses and the idea that the lover's new partner's lips will remind them of the protagonist's.
The song also touches on the idea of unfulfilled desire and the possibility of rekindling the affair. The protagonist assures their lover that they will never be a bother but leaves the door open for future encounters. This notion of a secret, ongoing connection adds a layer of intrigue and complexity to the narrative. The song captures the bittersweet nature of a passionate, yet ultimately unattainable, relationship, leaving listeners with a sense of longing and nostalgia.
