Olor a Hierba

Los Greys' song 'Olor a Hierba' is a poetic and intimate portrayal of a romantic moment shared between two lovers in a natural setting. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a couple lying in the grass, wrapped in each other's arms, savoring the closeness and the beauty of their surroundings. The repeated plea, 'No te salgas de mis brazos' (Don't leave my arms), underscores the desire to prolong this tender moment, emphasizing the deep connection and affection between the two individuals.

The song employs rich metaphors to convey the intensity of the emotions experienced. The comparison of the lover's touch to ivy ('Recorrerte como hiedra') suggests a sense of entanglement and inseparability, highlighting the depth of their bond. The imagery of the sun setting and the stars reflecting in the lover's eyes adds a layer of romanticism and timelessness to the scene, while the approaching night symbolizes the inevitable end of their time together.

As the song progresses, there is a gentle acknowledgment of the transient nature of this moment. The lyrics describe the gradual release from the embrace as the night grows colder, and the couple prepares to part ways with the dawn. The final lines, 'Nos iremos con el alba y con el cuerpo con olor a hierba' (We will leave with the dawn and with our bodies smelling of grass), encapsulate the lingering memory of their shared experience, suggesting that the scent of the grass will serve as a lasting reminder of their intimate encounter. This song beautifully captures the fleeting yet profound nature of love and the way it can be intertwined with the natural world.
