BIRDS OF A FEATHER (Spanish Version)

“BIRDS OF A FEATHER (Spanish Version)” by Kevin & Karla is a poignant exploration of deep, unwavering love and the fear of separation. The song's lyrics convey a sense of commitment and devotion that transcends time and physical presence. The opening lines, “Solo quédate / Hasta fallecer,” set the tone for a love that persists until death, emphasizing the desire to remain together even in the face of mortality. This theme is reinforced with the lines, “Si tú vas, yo voy / Contigo va mi amor,” illustrating a bond so strong that one cannot imagine life without the other.

The metaphor of birds that should always be together is a powerful image in the song. Birds often symbolize freedom and the soul, and in this context, they represent the idea of two souls meant to be united. The lyrics, “Y como aves que juntas debiesen estar / Antes yo evadía tanto la soledad,” suggest that the narrator once avoided loneliness but now finds solace and completeness in their partner. This metaphor underscores the natural and almost predestined connection between the two lovers.

The song also touches on the inevitability of change and the transient nature of life, with lines like, “Lo de nosotros no es para siempre / Pero así se siente y aquí me tienes.” Despite acknowledging that nothing lasts forever, the narrator cherishes the present moment and the intensity of their feelings. The recurring theme of seeing and being seen, “Mis ojos te verán / Hasta no respirar,” highlights the deep emotional connection and the desire to hold on to each other as long as possible. The song beautifully captures the essence of a love that feels eternal, even if it is bound by the constraints of time and life.
