La Venia Bendita

The song 'La Venia Bendita' by La Hija Del Mariachi is a heartfelt expression of deep and enduring love. The lyrics poetically describe a love so intense that it seems to defy the constraints of time and mortality. The opening lines, 'Le faltan horas al día / Para seguirnos queriendo,' suggest that a day does not have enough hours to contain the love the narrator feels, indicating a desire for time to stand still to savor the moments of affection.

As the song progresses, the lyrics delve into the physical and emotional depth of the love experienced. 'Nos falta sangre en las venas / Pa aguantar lo que sentimos' conveys that their love is so overwhelming that their bodies almost cannot contain it. The mention of 'mas hoyos en la tierra / Para la hora de morirnos' metaphorically speaks to the idea that their love is so vast that it would require extra space even in death. This hyperbolic language emphasizes the magnitude of their feelings.

The chorus, 'Bésame así despacito / Y alarguemos el destino,' is a plea to cherish each moment and extend their shared destiny. The phrase 'Tiene la venia bendita / Del poderoso divino' reveals a belief that their love is blessed or sanctioned by a divine power, adding a spiritual dimension to their connection. The song captures the essence of a love that is both blessed and boundless, one that is celebrated by nature itself, as suggested by the lines about the flowers and the wind sharing in their joy.
