Como Jardin de Fuego

Los Nocheros' song 'Como Jardín de Fuego' is a poetic and passionate depiction of a night of love and intimacy. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a romantic encounter under the stars, where the natural elements become part of the lovers' experience. The imagery of a 'camastro de aire' (air mattress) and a 'colchón de estrellas' (mattress of stars) suggests a surreal and dreamlike setting, emphasizing the ethereal and magical nature of their union. The use of metaphors like 'jardín de fuego' (garden of fire) to describe the woman's skin highlights the intense and consuming nature of their passion.

The song delves into the emotional and physical connection between the lovers, with lines like 'Ella tiró la blusa sobre el pantalón' (She threw her blouse over her pants) and 'La soledad del mundo fue la tentación' (The loneliness of the world was the temptation) illustrating the vulnerability and desire that drive them together. The chorus, 'Las manos de los ojos una y otra vez desnudan el recuerdo y lo visten después' (The hands of the eyes again and again undress the memory and then dress it), speaks to the lasting impact of their night together, as memories are continually revisited and reimagined.

The song also touches on themes of confinement and liberation, with the woman's mouth described as a 'celda' (cell) and the man's as a 'prisión' (prison). Despite the sense of entrapment, their love is portrayed as a mutual and shared experience, with both being 'Cómplices del destino, reos del amor' (Accomplices of destiny, prisoners of love). The final verses reflect on the transient nature of love and the pain of separation, suggesting that while their love was intense, it may be best left in the past. The refrain 'Más vale si se olvidan porque ya no están' (It's better if they are forgotten because they are no longer here) encapsulates the bittersweet realization that some loves are fleeting and must be let go.
