Como Lluvia (part. Nelly Furtado)

Juan Luis Guerra, a renowned Dominican singer, songwriter, and producer, teams up with Nelly Furtado in 'Como Lluvia,' a song that beautifully captures the essence of deep, unwavering love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that transcends the ordinary, describing a bond that is more than just two people together. The phrase 'Tú y yo, más que dos' (You and I, more than two) sets the tone for the entire song, emphasizing a connection that is profound and almost spiritual.

The song uses rich metaphors to convey the depth of this love. Describing the beloved as 'carne de mi carne, huesos de mis huesos' (flesh of my flesh, bones of my bones) and 'el talón de aquiles de mis pensamientos' (the Achilles' heel of my thoughts) highlights the integral role the partner plays in the singer's life. The recurring imagery of rain and water, particularly 'como lluvia en el agua fría' (like rain in cold water), symbolizes the refreshing and essential nature of their love. This metaphor suggests that their love is as natural and necessary as rain, bringing life and renewal.

The song also touches on the daily reaffirmation of this love. Lines like 'con la piel de una noche tibia, cubres este amor cada día' (with the skin of a warm night, you cover this love every day) and 'me despierto con el concierto de tu cabello y el mío' (I wake up with the concert of your hair and mine) evoke a sense of intimacy and routine that strengthens their bond. The repetition of 'cada día' (every day) underscores the consistency and reliability of their affection, making it clear that this love is not fleeting but enduring.

'Como Lluvia' is a celebration of a love that is both passionate and steadfast, using poetic language and vivid imagery to convey its message. The collaboration between Juan Luis Guerra and Nelly Furtado adds a unique blend of Latin and pop influences, making the song a beautiful testament to the power of love.
