Aliento Con Aliento

Lara Gustavo's song 'Aliento Con Aliento' is a deeply intimate and passionate exploration of love and desire. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a couple's intense connection, both physically and emotionally. The repeated plea to keep the light on and not close their eyes during their intimate moments underscores a desire for complete presence and vulnerability. This openness is further emphasized by the setting of the room, which holds all the secrets of the narrator, suggesting a space of ultimate trust and intimacy.

The chorus, with its wish for the sun to witness their 'aliento con aliento' (breath with breath), symbolizes a desire for their love to be seen and acknowledged in its purest form. The imagery of 'deshojar la flor de la pasion' (plucking the petals of passion) evokes a sense of savoring every moment of their connection, much like one would delicately handle a flower. This metaphor highlights the fragility and beauty of their relationship.

As the song progresses, the narrator reflects on the past, expressing no regrets and valuing the openness and vulnerability they have shared. The longing for more time and deeper connection is palpable, with phrases like 'mas adentro, mas fuerte' (deeper, stronger) and the comparison to a never-ending rosary, suggesting a spiritual and unending devotion. The song concludes with a plea for more time, likening the pursuit of their love to a relentless chase, much like a wolf. This imagery encapsulates the intensity and insatiable nature of their desire, making 'Aliento Con Aliento' a powerful ode to passionate, enduring love.
