Tu Poder Sobre Mi

Javier Calamaro's song 'Tu Poder Sobre Mi' delves into the transformative and liberating power of love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who feels overwhelmed by life's challenges and the constant battle against the world's deceit. The opening lines, 'Hoy me olvidé de comer y tomar la medicina / El remedio para curar la resaca de la vida,' suggest a state of neglect and exhaustion, where the protagonist is too consumed by their struggles to take care of themselves properly.

As the song progresses, the protagonist finds solace and escape in the love they share with their partner. The metaphor of being caught in a 'telaraña' (spider web) signifies surrendering to this powerful force, allowing it to plant a seed of hope and happiness within them. The repeated refrain, 'El poder que tenés sobre mí / Que me acerca a la felicidad,' emphasizes how this love lifts them out of darkness and brings them closer to joy. The imagery of flying 'lejos, lejos de acá' (far, far away from here) further underscores the sense of freedom and escape that love provides.

The song also touches on the idea of finding a place where societal constraints do not exist, a utopia where 'no está prohibido respirar, no está prohibido ser feliz.' This longing for a world free from restrictions and filled with genuine happiness highlights the deep yearning for a better, more fulfilling life. Ultimately, 'Tu Poder Sobre Mi' is a celebration of love's ability to heal, uplift, and transform, offering a beacon of hope in an otherwise challenging existence.
