Take It Easy

Los Del Rio's song 'Take It Easy' is a vibrant and passionate ode to the overwhelming nature of love. The lyrics describe a love so intense that it drives the narrator to the brink of madness. This love is not just an abstract feeling but a tangible presence, described as 'de carne y hueso' (of flesh and bone), emphasizing its real and palpable nature. The repeated exclamations of '¡ay, ay, ay!' convey the emotional turmoil and excitement that this love brings, likening it to a 'tromba de mar' (a sea storm) and a 'hoguera' (bonfire), both powerful natural forces that are difficult to control.

The song also carries a warning about the consuming nature of such a love. The lyrics caution that if this love 'toca tu puerta' (knocks on your door), it will trap you at all hours and could explode like a bomb. This metaphor highlights the unpredictable and potentially destructive power of intense emotions. The repeated refrain 'Take it easy, 'tate quieto' (take it easy, stay calm) suggests a struggle to maintain composure in the face of such overwhelming feelings, indicating that the narrator is both captivated and overwhelmed by this love.

The festive and energetic tone of the song, especially in the lines '¡Sube más, sube más, que la fiesta va a empezar!' (Turn it up, turn it up, the party is about to start!), adds a layer of celebration to the narrative. It suggests that despite the chaos and intensity, there is a joy and excitement in experiencing such profound emotions. Los Del Rio, known for their lively and rhythmic music, encapsulate the dual nature of love as both exhilarating and consuming, making 'Take It Easy' a dynamic and relatable anthem for anyone who has ever been swept away by passion.
