La Innombrable

The song 'La Innombrable' by Julius Popper is a poetic exploration of deep affection and protective love, expressed through a series of tender, yet fervent pleas and declarations. The lyrics convey a narrative of someone who is deeply enamored with a girl, possibly too fragile or precious in the eyes of the narrator, and thus treated with utmost care and reverence.

The opening lines of the song suggest a gentle, almost paternal care, advising to give the girl a cigarette if she wishes to smoke, or to take her dancing if she desires. This protective theme continues with the advice to hold her hand gently, day and night, emphasizing her fragility. The song then transitions into more intimate expressions of love, urging the narrator to confess his dreams and desires about her, highlighting a deep emotional connection that transcends mere physical attraction.

As the song progresses, the lyrics delve into more intense declarations of love, referring to the girl as the 'queen of my heart' and 'goddess of all my love.' These phrases elevate the girl to an almost divine status, indicating that she is not just loved, but revered. The repeated lines about her being an 'angel of pure color' and a 'fire that burns pain' suggest that her presence is both healing and transformative, offering comfort and passion that alleviate the narrator's suffering. This portrayal of the girl as an ethereal being who holds the power to both enchant and heal encapsulates the song's central theme of idolized love and devotion.
