Deja Que La Luz Del Sol
José Alfredo Fuentes
Eternal Love Under the Sun: A Nostalgic Ode
José Alfredo Fuentes' song "Deja Que La Luz Del Sol" is a poignant reflection on love, loss, and the enduring power of memories. The lyrics invite the listener to let the sunlight shine over the vast sea, symbolizing the persistence of love even in the absence of the beloved. The imagery of the sun and the sea serves as a metaphor for the vastness and depth of the singer's emotions, suggesting that his love is as boundless as the ocean and as constant as the sun's light.
The song delves into the bittersweet nature of memories, particularly those of a past love. The singer acknowledges that although his lover is no longer with him, the memories of their kisses and the time they spent together will live on. This sentiment is beautifully captured in the lines, "Que en el tiempo ha de vivir / El recuerdo de aquellos besos / Que jamás olvidaré." The use of seagulls searching for another love to gaze upon further emphasizes the theme of moving on and the transient nature of relationships.
Fuentes also touches on the fleeting nature of happiness and the often elusive nature of dreams. The lyrics, "Por qué será que todo aquello / Que nos gusta, dura poco / Y nuestros sueños / Nunca, nunca son verdad," express a universal truth about the impermanence of joy and the harsh reality that dreams often remain unfulfilled. This adds a layer of melancholy to the song, making it a heartfelt ode to love lost and the enduring hope that memories can bring solace.
