Tanto

Lucero's song 'Tanto' is a poetic exploration of deep, unconditional love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that is both intense and liberating. The opening lines describe the ease with which the narrator was able to win over their lover, suggesting a natural and effortless connection. The imagery of 'amansar tus ojos turbios' (taming your troubled eyes) and 'desdibujar tu vértigo sin prisas' (erasing your vertigo without haste) conveys a sense of calming and soothing influence the narrator has on their partner.

The recurring use of the word 'tanto' (so much) emphasizes the overwhelming nature of their love. Comparisons to 'mercurio derramado' (spilled mercury) and 'salvaje aroma de limón' (wild lemon scent) evoke a sense of fluidity and raw, untamed passion. The lyrics also highlight the simplicity and purity of their bond, free from societal constraints and false promises. The line 'sin promesas falsas libres como el aire' (without false promises, free like the air) underscores their desire for a genuine and unbound relationship.

As the song progresses, the narrator describes the physical and emotional sensations of being in love. Walking barefoot on the first snow of winter symbolizes vulnerability and a fresh start, while the need for no 'bendiciones de papel' (paper blessings) signifies a rejection of traditional validations of love. The intimate moments shared in the early hours of the morning, with whispered sweet nothings and tender touches, further illustrate the depth of their connection. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of the ease and simplicity of falling in love, encapsulating the essence of their profound and all-encompassing affection.
