Desaluz

Fito Páez's song 'Desaluz' is a poetic exploration of love, freedom, and the mystical connections that bind two souls together. The lyrics are rich with metaphors and vivid imagery, painting a picture of a relationship that is both intense and liberating. The opening lines, 'Cuando me rompiste la remera me gustó / un hechizo para mí vos desesperación,' suggest a moment of raw passion and vulnerability, where the breaking of a shirt symbolizes the breaking of barriers and the casting of a spell of desperation and enchantment.

The recurring phrase 'antes que des a luz' (before you give birth to light) serves as a metaphor for the moments of anticipation and the transformative power of love. Páez uses this phrase to emphasize the idea that love and connection can illuminate one's life even before any tangible change occurs. The line 'asi la aurora no pregunta nada al sol' (just as the dawn asks nothing of the sun) further reinforces this idea, suggesting that true love and understanding require no questions or explanations.

The song also delves into the paradoxical nature of freedom within a relationship. Lines like 'me estas asfixiando con tu libertad' (you are suffocating me with your freedom) highlight the tension between closeness and independence. Despite this tension, the song celebrates the beauty of love and the mystery it brings, as seen in 'tus ojos me dicen que existe el misterio' (your eyes tell me that mystery exists). The closing lines, 'Solo precisamos una casa / amarilla bajo los cielos del sur / te amaré sin razón,' evoke a sense of simplicity and unconditional love, suggesting that all they need is a home and each other to find happiness.
