Para Ir a Buscarte

Los Nocheros, a renowned Argentine folk music group, bring a deep sense of emotion and poetic imagery in their song 'Para Ir a Buscarte.' The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a passionate quest to reunite with a loved one. The song opens with the narrator preparing for this journey by dressing his guitar in red, symbolizing the intensity and fervor of his emotions. The act of hanging a star on his song's peak suggests a desire to illuminate the path and make his intentions clear and bright.

The recurring imagery of the beloved's eyes 'scratching a piece of the night' conveys a sense of longing and the profound impact the loved one has on the narrator's world. The narrator finds himself in a state of constant vigilance, metaphorically described as being on the 'cross of the vigils,' where he consumes a piece of the beloved's shadow. This imagery evokes a sense of sacrifice and the consuming nature of love and longing.

As the song progresses, the narrator speaks of releasing the ties of hope and unleashing the wild horse of his heart, driven by the lightning of the beloved's blood that calls to him. This powerful metaphor underscores the uncontrollable and passionate nature of his feelings. The repetition of these themes throughout the song emphasizes the depth of the narrator's emotions and his unwavering determination to seek out his beloved, no matter the obstacles.
