Identidad

In 'Identidad,' Juan Antonio Labra delves into the complexities of love and identity, challenging societal norms and restrictions. The song opens with a vivid depiction of physical and emotional longing, where the protagonist's skin seeks the touch of their beloved. This imagery sets the stage for a love that is both passionate and profound, transcending mere physical attraction. The phrase 'Somos la coincidencia de un temor' suggests that their union is a serendipitous escape from fear, highlighting the transformative power of love.

However, the narrative takes a turn as external forces, symbolized by 'el malo del mundo,' erect barriers between the lovers. These barriers are not just physical but also cultural and societal, rooted in ancient customs and prejudices. The line 'Desentierra costumbres de mil años atras' underscores the weight of historical and cultural baggage that stifles their love. The protagonist feels trapped, their wings clipped by these archaic norms, yet they remain defiant, questioning the validity of such constraints.

The chorus serves as a powerful rebuttal to these societal impositions. The repeated 'que no, que no, que no... que no puede ser' reflects the external voices of doubt and prohibition, while the protagonist counters with 'que si, que si, que si... que esto es amor.' This juxtaposition emphasizes the conflict between societal expectations and personal convictions. Labra questions the legitimacy of legal and social constructs in defining identity and love, asserting that true love transcends such limitations. The song concludes with a spiritual affirmation, suggesting that divine blessing is inherent in genuine love, regardless of societal approval.
