Abrazadito a la luna
Juan Pardo
Embraced by the Moon: A Love Beyond Words
Juan Pardo's song "Abrazadito a la luna" is a heartfelt declaration of love that transcends the ordinary. The lyrics are imbued with a sense of deep, unwavering affection, where the protagonist is unafraid to proclaim his love openly and passionately. The repeated phrase "yo les diré que te quiero" (I will tell them that I love you) underscores a commitment to love that is so strong, it becomes a defining part of his identity. This love is not just a private sentiment but a public declaration, showing the depth and sincerity of his feelings.
The song also explores the complexities and vulnerabilities of love. The lines "Nunca he sabido mentir, aunque decía mentiras" (I never knew how to lie, even though I told lies) reveal a paradox where the protagonist admits to small deceptions, perhaps to keep the relationship alive or to feel closer to his beloved. This admission adds a layer of human imperfection to the otherwise idealized love, making it more relatable and poignant. The pain of separation is palpable in the lyrics, especially when he sings about the suffering that comes with distance, highlighting the emotional highs and lows that come with true love.
The imagery of being "abrazadito a la luna" (embraced by the moon) serves as a powerful metaphor for eternal love. The moon, often a symbol of constancy and romance, represents a celestial witness to their love. The protagonist's willingness to live or die for this love, as expressed in the lines "no me importa vivir si no es contigo la vida, no me importa morir cuando así lo decida" (I don't care about living if it's not with you, I don't care about dying when you decide), further emphasizes the depth of his devotion. This song is a beautiful ode to a love that is both earthly and transcendent, capturing the essence of a bond that is meant to last forever.
