The Serendipity of Love: A Miracle in Silence
Jon Secada's song "Como Un Milagro (Just Like A Miracle)" is a poetic exploration of love's unexpected and transformative power. The lyrics describe the arrival of love as a silent, almost divine event, likened to the subtle blooming of a flower. This metaphor emphasizes the gentle yet profound impact that love can have on an individual's life, suggesting that it is both a natural and extraordinary occurrence, akin to a miracle or a whimsical act of a deity.
The song delves into the depth of the narrator's feelings, revealing how love has permeated his thoughts and emotions. The lines "Si tu supieras cuanto te he besado / Con el pensamiento" (If you knew how much I've kissed you / With my thoughts) and "Si tu supieras cuanto has penetrado / Ya en mis sentimientos" (If you knew how much you've penetrated / Already in my feelings) illustrate the intensity of his affection, which exists even in the realm of imagination. This highlights the idea that love can be deeply felt and cherished even before it is fully realized or reciprocated.
Secada further portrays love as a source of joy and spiritual fulfillment, comparing it to a fragrance that brightens his life and an angel that nests in his soul. The song concludes with a hopeful and optimistic tone, expressing a desire to turn dreams into reality and live out the miracle of love. The repeated reference to miracles underscores the theme of love as a wondrous and almost supernatural force that brings happiness and completeness to the narrator's life.
