Durar

Laura Pausini's song 'Durar' is a heartfelt ode to a deep and enduring love that stands out from the ordinary. The lyrics express gratitude for a partner who is different from the rest, someone who returns and stands by the singer's side during times of fear when no one else seems to notice. The repeated plea to 'choose me' highlights a desire for commitment and exclusivity in their relationship, emphasizing the special bond they share.

The song delves into the theme of a destined love that took time to materialize, questioning why it took so long for them to find each other. The imagery of being taken so high that the city appears as a tiny point suggests a transcendent love that elevates them above the mundane. The repeated references to a 'starry night among chimneys' and multiple lives—one thought out, one to believe in, one to invent, and one to understand—symbolize the multifaceted nature of their relationship and the different stages and possibilities it encompasses.

'Durar' also touches on the idea of a love that will last and drive them to madness, indicating a passionate and intense connection. The song concludes with a sense of achievement in love and a plea for the partner to return home, hinting at the desire for a future together, possibly with a family ('Busquemos hijo tras la cena'). Laura Pausini's emotive delivery and the poetic lyrics of 'Durar' convey a message of a love that is both comforting in its presence and exhilarating in its depth.
