Dreaming in the Night: A Journey with Ivan Noble

Ivan Noble's song "A soñar un rato" is a poetic exploration of the night and the act of dreaming. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world where the boundaries between reality and dreams blur. The night is described as shaking out its starry carpet, while the day seems reluctant to leave, suggesting a seamless transition between day and night, reality and fantasy. The imagery of rain and wind sharing bread and a sleepwalking dog learning to meow adds a surreal quality to the scene, emphasizing the dreamlike state the singer is entering.

The chorus, "Yo me voy a soñar un rato con vos" (I'm going to dream for a while with you), indicates a desire to escape into a shared dream with a loved one. This escape is further highlighted by the empty glasses asking for the time and taxis yawning love stories, suggesting a world that is tired and in need of rest. The chairs without owners getting cold and trains dying to derail add to the sense of a world in disarray, where the only solace is found in dreams.

As the song progresses, the imagery becomes even more fantastical. The dawn is personified with unshaven teeth, and the street waits for the world to wake up. Life passes by with death on its shoulder, and the past reads the newspaper, Clarín. Birds whistle songs by Almendra, a nod to the influential Argentine rock band, and the moon steals kisses from the sun. These metaphors and cultural references enrich the song's narrative, creating a tapestry of dreams and reality intertwined. Ultimately, the song is a celebration of the power of dreams to provide comfort and escape from the chaos of the world.
