Levitar

Lisandro Aristimuño's song 'Levitar' is a poetic exploration of love, time, and the natural world. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency and impatience, as the narrator expresses a longing that can no longer be contained. The repeated lines 'Ya no puedo esperar más' (I can't wait any longer) and 'Ya no quiero esperar más' (I don't want to wait any longer) highlight a deep desire for connection and fulfillment. This urgency is juxtaposed with the imagery of aging eyes and a weary clock, suggesting that time is slipping away, and the need for love and presence is becoming more pressing.

The chorus, 'Porque este amor es de los dos' (Because this love is ours), emphasizes the mutual nature of the love being described. The act of 'levitar cerca del mar' (levitating near the sea) and 'contemplar y respirar' (contemplating and breathing) evokes a sense of tranquility and unity with nature. This imagery suggests that true love allows one to rise above the mundane and find peace and clarity in the natural world. The sea, a symbol of vastness and eternity, serves as the perfect backdrop for this elevated state of being.

Aristimuño also touches on the idea of searching for a place where the sun 'mastica el humo' (chews the smoke) and the streets open up to reveal a 'boca sin juglares' (mouth without minstrels). These lines paint a picture of a world where the ordinary gives way to the extraordinary, and where love can flourish without the distractions of everyday life. The song ultimately portrays love as a powerful, transformative force that can elevate and inspire, allowing individuals to find beauty and meaning in both each other and the world around them.
