Arco Íris

Jorge Vercillo's song 'Arco Íris' is a poetic exploration of love, using the vibrant imagery of a rainbow to convey the depth and beauty of his emotions. The lyrics open with a request to the rainbow for its colors, symbolizing a desire to borrow the infinite beauty and wonder that the rainbow represents. This metaphor sets the stage for a narrative where the speaker gives these colors to their beloved, highlighting the boundless and selfless nature of their love.

The song then transitions into a nostalgic reflection, where the speaker reminisces about a time when their love was just a dream, a 'quimera' or chimera, for a dreamer. This dream has now become a reality, transforming their life into something beautiful and vibrant. The imagery of nights under the stars and gatherings around a guitar evokes a sense of intimacy and shared moments, further emphasizing the deep connection between the speaker and their beloved.

As the song progresses, the speaker acknowledges that their beloved, once a mere dream, is now their entire life and love. The fear that once blinded them is gone, replaced by a world exploding in color. The repeated references to the rainbow and its colors symbolize the transformative power of love, turning the speaker's world into a kaleidoscope of emotions. The final lines express a profound realization: the speaker cannot recognize themselves without their beloved, affirming their love with a heartfelt declaration, 'Eu te amo' (I love you).
