Boca, Boca
Durango
A Serendipitous Love by the Poolside
“Boca, Boca” by Durango is a charming and light-hearted song that narrates an unexpected love story that unfolds on a sunny Sunday. The protagonist recounts how he went to a club to drink and sing, only to find himself captivated by a beautiful woman sunbathing in a bikini adorned with little snail designs. The imagery of a carefree day at the club sets the stage for a whimsical and serendipitous encounter.
The protagonist is immediately smitten by the woman's beauty and femininity, describing her as a “rubita tostada” (a tanned blonde). Overwhelmed by his emotions, he impulsively jumps into the pool, only to remember that he cannot swim. This humorous twist adds a playful element to the story, highlighting the lengths to which people will go when they are infatuated. The near-drowning incident serves as a metaphor for the protagonist's overwhelming feelings and the risks he is willing to take for love.
In a delightful turn of events, the woman he admires saves him by performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, which is referred to as “boca a boca” in Spanish. This act of saving his life becomes the catalyst for their romantic connection. The song concludes with the protagonist reflecting on how, despite the near-death experience, it was all worth it because it led to the woman reciprocating his feelings. The song captures the spontaneity and magic of falling in love in the most unexpected circumstances, celebrating the joy and excitement of new romantic beginnings.
