Son Los Besos

Los Rebujitos' song 'Son Los Besos' delves into the profound emotional aftermath of a past relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that has left an indelible mark on the narrator's soul. The opening lines, 'Pasó y se dejó / Su foto en mi alma / Su tacto en mis ganas / Su todo en mí nada,' suggest a fleeting yet deeply impactful encounter. The use of metaphors like 'barquito sin vela' (a boat without a sail) emphasizes the narrator's sense of aimlessness and loss without their former lover.

The chorus, 'Que son los besos que me daba / Más quererte no podía / Encontrarte vida mía / En los besos de otros besos,' underscores the irreplaceable nature of the past love. The narrator is haunted by the memory of their lover's kisses, which they cannot replicate with anyone else. This sentiment is further explored in the lines, 'Ella es el fuego y yo muero de frío / Ella es el viento y yo pendo de un hilo,' where the narrator contrasts their lover's vibrant presence with their own sense of emptiness and vulnerability.

The song also touches on the idea of liberation and the struggle to move on. The repeated plea, 'Ahora libérame / Que tengo el corazón / Despeinado, atrapado / Ahora libérame / Que tengo el corazón congelado,' reveals the narrator's desire to break free from the emotional chains of their past. Despite this yearning for freedom, the lingering memories and the unique impact of their lover make it a challenging endeavor. 'Son Los Besos' is a poignant exploration of love's enduring imprint and the difficulty of finding closure.
