Pasional

Juan Carlos Baglietto's song 'Pasional' delves deep into the intense and often painful emotions that come with passionate love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love so consuming that it borders on madness. The opening lines, 'No sabrás nunca sabrás / lo que es morir mil veces / de ansiedad,' set the tone for the song, expressing the agony of longing and the torment of unfulfilled desire. This is a love that is not just felt but suffered, a recurring theme in many passionate love songs.

The imagery of burning kisses and intoxicating lips that 'torturan mi razón' (torture my reason) highlights the dual nature of this love—both blissful and torturous. The lover is 'clavada en mi' (nailed into me), a metaphor that suggests an inescapable and painful attachment. This metaphor is further emphasized with the line 'como un puñal en la carne' (like a dagger in the flesh), indicating that this love is as painful as it is deep.

Baglietto's delivery of these lyrics adds another layer of intensity. His voice, filled with emotion, brings the listener into the depths of his torment and longing. The fear of losing the beloved, 'Tengo miedo de perderte,' and the brutal doubt, 'porque esta duda brutal,' encapsulate the anxiety that often accompanies such intense emotions. The song ends on a note of desperate desire, 'quiero en tus brazos morir,' underscoring the ultimate surrender to this all-consuming passion. 'Pasional' is a powerful exploration of the highs and lows of passionate love, capturing the essence of human emotion in its rawest form.
