De Mar En Mar

La Raíz's song 'De Mar En Mar' is a poetic exploration of love, longing, and the search for peace amidst chaos. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a deep emotional connection, symbolized by the sea and the imagery of a mermaid. The protagonist expresses a sense of vulnerability and yearning, as seen in lines like 'Te llevaste en la boca un trocito de mi ropa por el mar,' which suggests a piece of their essence being carried away by the beloved. This metaphor of the sea represents both the vastness of their emotions and the distance that separates them.

The chorus emphasizes the simplicity and purity of what the protagonist can offer: 'Tenemos, tenemos un corazón,' highlighting that despite lacking material wealth or power, they possess a genuine heart and a place of solace. The repeated invitation for the 'chica' to join them and dance to their rhythm underscores a desire for shared joy and connection. This simplicity contrasts sharply with the chaotic world around them, where 'bombas que vuelan perdidas por la tierra' and a 'Mama dolida se agrieta-grieta' depict a world marred by conflict and suffering.

The song also touches on themes of escapism and the search for a peaceful refuge. The mermaid, or 'reina,' is portrayed as a lost soul traveling from sea to sea, seeking a 'rinconcito de paz.' This quest for peace amidst turmoil resonates deeply, reflecting a universal longing for tranquility in a world often fraught with strife. La Raíz's blend of poetic lyrics and emotive delivery creates a powerful narrative that speaks to the heart, making 'De Mar En Mar' a poignant anthem of love, hope, and resilience.
