Por Dentro (feat. Rels B)
Kenia OS
Exploring Inner Beauty and Deep Connection in 'Por Dentro'
Kenia OS's song 'Por Dentro,' featuring Rels B, delves into the themes of deep emotional connection and the appreciation of inner beauty. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that transcends physical attraction, emphasizing the importance of knowing and loving someone from the inside out. The song opens with a declaration of the singer's 'vicio' or vice, which is the joy of seeing their partner's face and touching their hair. This sets the tone for a narrative that values intimate, everyday moments over superficial pleasures.
The chorus reinforces this idea by stating that merely physical connection is not enough; the desire is to 'comernos hasta el alma' or 'eat each other's souls,' suggesting a yearning for a profound, soulful bond. The repeated line 'La belleza va por dentro' or 'Beauty is on the inside' echoes a timeless adage, highlighting that true beauty and love are found within. This sentiment is further emphasized by the desire to move closer to the partner, to be near their 'boca' or mouth, and to engage in 'cositas locas' or crazy little things, which symbolize the playful and passionate aspects of the relationship.
The collaboration with Rels B adds another layer to the song, with his verses complementing Kenia OS's themes. The playful references to 'Bubbaloo,' a popular bubblegum brand, serve as a metaphor for the sweetness and softness of their connection. The lyrics 'Como yo, por dentro suave' or 'Like me, soft inside' reinforce the idea that beneath the surface, there is a tender and genuine affection. The song's playful yet profound lyrics, combined with its catchy melody, make 'Por Dentro' a celebration of love that goes beyond the physical, cherishing the inner qualities that truly define a person.
