Fumando Espero

Ignacio Corsini's song 'Fumando Espero' is a poetic exploration of the intertwined pleasures of smoking and love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who finds solace and sensual delight in the act of smoking while waiting for his beloved. The opening lines, 'Fumar es un placer genial sensual,' set the tone for the entire song, emphasizing the hedonistic pleasure derived from smoking. This act becomes a meditative escape, a way to pass time without feeling its weight, as he watches the smoke and drifts into a state of relaxation.

The imagery of 'Tras los cristales de alegres ventanales' suggests a serene and almost idyllic setting, where the protagonist is comfortably ensconced, waiting for his lover. The act of smoking is not just a physical pleasure but also a mental one, as it allows him to dream and imagine his beloved's presence. The lyrics 'Ver a mi amada feliz y enamorada' and 'Sentir sus labios besar con besos sabios' convey a deep longing and affection, where the anticipation of love is heightened by the act of smoking.

The chorus, 'Dame el humo de tu boca; dame que mi pasión provoca,' is a passionate plea that intertwines the act of smoking with the act of loving. The smoke becomes a metaphor for the lover's breath, a tangible connection that fuels his desire. The song beautifully captures the duality of smoking as both a solitary pleasure and a shared experience, where the 'humo embriagador' (intoxicating smoke) ignites the 'llama ardiente del amor' (burning flame of love). Corsini's lyrics elevate smoking to a ritualistic act that enhances the emotional and sensual connection between lovers, making 'Fumando Espero' a timeless ode to the pleasures of anticipation and desire.
