La Belleza
Alejandro Lerner
Eternal Beauty Beyond the Surface
Alejandro Lerner's song "La Belleza" delves into the profound and timeless concept of beauty, transcending the superficial and ephemeral nature of physical appearance. The lyrics poetically explore the idea that true beauty lies within, in the essence of a person's soul and the depth of their emotions. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the artist is emphasizing the enduring nature of inner beauty, which remains even as physical beauty fades with time.
The repetition of the phrase "Cuando la belleza pase" (When beauty passes) serves as a poignant reminder that external beauty is fleeting. Lerner contrasts this with the lasting beauty found in a person's gaze, smile, and the clarity of nights shared together. Each kiss and embrace becomes a testament to this deeper beauty, resonating in the consciousness of the lover. The song suggests that true beauty is not something that diminishes but rather something that grows and becomes more apparent as time goes on.
Lerner's lyrics also touch on the idea of eternal love and the spiritual connection between two people. The imagery of new moons and a circle of stars symbolizes a love that shines with eternal light, unaffected by the passage of time. The artist expresses a desire to give everything that remains when physical beauty fades, highlighting the value of inner beauty and the soul's radiance. The song concludes with a reflection on the possibility that we may not even notice when physical beauty fades because the beauty of the soul and heart will always shine through, making the beloved eternally beautiful in the eyes of the lover.
