B. Ode Y Evelyn

Fito Páez's song 'B. Ode Y Evelyn' paints a vivid picture of a clandestine romance set against a backdrop of danger and escape. The lyrics introduce us to Evelyn, a character described as 'caliente' (hot), suggesting a passionate and perhaps rebellious nature. She is 'envuelta en un collar' (wrapped in a collar), which could symbolize societal constraints or expectations. Her encounter with B. Ode, who has 'ojos de radar' (radar eyes) and 'afilados los dientes' (sharp teeth), hints at a predatory or vigilant nature, adding a layer of tension and intrigue to their relationship.

The song's narrative unfolds with Evelyn and B. Ode meeting on a bridge, a place often symbolizing transition or connection. Their meeting is described as serendipitous, yet both characters seem to have ulterior motives, particularly B. Ode, who plans to take Evelyn somewhere. This plan is interrupted by 'patrulleros de la muerte' (death patrols) and their guard dog, introducing a sense of imminent danger. Despite the threat, the couple manages to escape, highlighting their resilience and determination to be together.

The recurring lines 'Evelyn es sol, B. Ode marroquí' (Evelyn is the sun, B. Ode Moroccan) and 'seis bocas más del mal' (six more mouths of evil) suggest a deeper, perhaps metaphorical connection between the characters and their environment. The reference to Pompeya, a neighborhood in Buenos Aires, adds a local flavor and grounds the story in a specific cultural context. The song ends on a haunting note with 'Jamás volvió a salir la luna' (The moon never came out again), implying a permanent change or loss, possibly the end of their freedom or the culmination of their escape.
