Robot

In 'Robot' by Los Alazanes de Sonora, the lyrics delve into the profound depths of love and devotion. The song is a heartfelt declaration of the singer's unwavering affection for their beloved. The opening lines, 'Cuanto te quiero vida mía cuanto te amo,' set the tone for the entire piece, emphasizing the essential role the loved one plays in the singer's life. The lyrics suggest that without this love, life would lack meaning and purpose, as seen in the line, 'Sin ti la vida no tendría razón de ser.' This sentiment is further reinforced by the metaphor of the singer's existence being illuminated by their partner's essence.

The song employs vivid metaphors to convey the intensity of the singer's emotions. The comparison of the singer to a 'marioneta' (puppet) and a 'robot de carne sin alma sin corazón' (a flesh-and-blood robot without a soul or heart) highlights the extent to which they feel controlled and animated by their love for the other person. These metaphors suggest a sense of helplessness and complete surrender to the beloved's influence. The repeated assertion that 'sin ti me muero' (without you, I die) underscores the idea that the singer's very survival is dependent on this love.

Additionally, the song touches on themes of eternal love and divine witness. The lines 'Dios es testigo que todo esto es mi verdad' (God is witness that all this is my truth) and 'Si en la otra vida se conjuga el verbo amar, en la otra vida amor mío te he de amar' (If in the other life the verb to love is conjugated, in the other life, my love, I will love you) suggest a love that transcends this lifetime. This spiritual dimension adds a layer of depth to the song, indicating that the singer's devotion is not only profound but also eternal. The song 'Robot' is a poignant exploration of love's power to define and transform one's existence, capturing the essence of unconditional and everlasting affection.
