Tempestad

La Barra's song 'Tempestad' delves into the emotional turbulence of a romantic relationship that is on the brink of ending. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a couple who are parting ways, yet cherishing the beautiful moments they shared. The opening lines, 'ya no digas nada por favor... supongo que es tiempo de los dos,' suggest a mutual understanding that it is time to move on, even though it is painful. The metaphor of carrying love as a memory in one's suitcase highlights the bittersweet nature of their farewell.

The song's imagery is rich with romantic and nostalgic elements. The 'noche de anoche' (last night) is described as a magical time filled with kisses and colorful lights, symbolizing the peak of their love. This night serves as a stark contrast to the impending separation, making the memory even more poignant. The 'escalera de besos' (staircase of kisses) metaphorically represents their journey to an emotional high, only to be followed by the dimming of a 'lucero' (bright star), foreshadowing the end of their relationship.

The recurring theme of a kiss flying through time while one partner shouts 'te quiero' (I love you) encapsulates the fleeting yet intense nature of their love. The 'tempestad' (storm) in the song's title and lyrics symbolizes the emotional chaos and intensity of their relationship. Despite the storm, moments of silence and understanding between them bring temporary calm. This duality of passion and tranquility reflects the complexity of love and the inevitable pain of parting ways. La Barra's musical style, known for its romantic and heartfelt lyrics, perfectly complements the emotional depth of 'Tempestad,' making it a poignant exploration of love and loss.
