Ecografía

In 'Ecografía,' José Angel Trelles crafts a deeply emotional and poetic tribute to the miracle of life, as seen through the lens of an ultrasound. The song opens with the awe-inspiring moment of witnessing a developing heart, encapsulating the profound wonder and beauty of life in its earliest stages. Trelles uses vivid imagery, likening the experience to peering into a 'mar de placenta' (sea of placenta), which symbolizes the nurturing and protective environment of the womb. This initial glimpse into the unborn child's world sets the tone for the rest of the song, filled with admiration and love.

The lyrics continue to explore the emotional depth of this experience, as Trelles sings about the unborn child's tiny bones, blood, and the beloved figure of the mother. He imagines the dreams the child might already be having, creating a sense of connection and anticipation. The song then takes a cosmic turn, with Trelles describing a journey to the farthest galaxy, symbolizing the boundless potential and infinite possibilities that life holds. This celestial imagery underscores the universal significance of new life and the joy it brings.

As the song progresses, Trelles expresses a desire for a world filled with freedom, music, and tenderness for the unborn child. He envisions a life of adventure and humanity, emphasizing the importance of love and hope. The recurring theme of life triumphing over death, 'en nombre del amor, vence a la muerte' (in the name of love, conquers death), highlights the enduring power of love and the cyclical nature of life. The song concludes with a heartfelt wish for the child to sing of hope, encapsulating the father's dreams and aspirations for the future.
