Cantos de Sirena

Inma Serrano's 'Cantos de Sirena' is a beautiful ode to the enchanting power of love. The song's title, which translates to 'Siren Songs,' evokes the mythical allure of sirens whose songs captivate and mesmerize. In this context, the 'siren songs' symbolize the soothing and enchanting presence of a loved one, which brings comfort and joy to the singer's life. The repetition of the phrase 'cantos de sirena al dormirme' emphasizes the tranquility and happiness that the singer feels when falling asleep, knowing they are loved and cherished.

The lyrics delve into the profound impact of love on the singer's perception of time and reality. When the loved one looks at them slowly, it feels as if time stands still, and closing their eyes allows them to fully immerse in the song of love. This metaphor highlights the timeless and transcendent nature of true love, which can make ordinary moments feel extraordinary. The singer cherishes every second spent with their loved one, valuing these moments more than years, as the loved one brings joy and happiness to their heart.

The song also explores the idea of love's enduring presence, even in the face of separation. The singer expresses confidence that they will remain happy and content, knowing that they have been loved deeply. This sentiment is beautifully captured in the lines 'sabiendo que me has querido, lo mismo te quiero yo,' which means 'knowing that you have loved me, I love you the same.' The imagery of a smile illuminating the night more than a streetlamp further underscores the radiant and uplifting power of love. 'Cantos de Sirena' is a heartfelt celebration of love's ability to bring light, warmth, and a sense of timelessness to our lives.
