A Night of Love and Letting Go: The Essence of 'Y Asi Asi'
In 'Y Asi Asi,' Luciano Pereyra crafts a poignant narrative about seizing the moment and embracing love without the burdens of the past. The song opens with a declaration to leave past worries behind, symbolized by the rising new moon. This celestial imagery sets the stage for a night where the protagonist aims to capture the heart of their beloved before the dawn breaks. The urgency in the lyrics reflects a desire to live in the present, as the night, much like a river, flows in one direction and never returns.
The chorus, or 'estribillo,' emphasizes the theme of dancing away sorrows and being together in the moment. The repetition of 'y así, así' (and so, so) underscores the simplicity and purity of the desire to forget past heartaches and focus on the joy of being with each other. This refrain acts as a mantra, encouraging both the singer and the listener to embrace the present and find solace in shared moments of happiness.
As the song progresses, there's a tender acknowledgment of past pains, hinted at through the 'shadow' in the protagonist's gaze. However, the plea to ignore this shadow and not let it ruin the night highlights the importance of not letting old wounds interfere with new experiences. The closing lines promise a sweet memory left behind with a kiss and a taste of honey, symbolizing the lingering sweetness of the night and the love shared. Pereyra's lyrical storytelling, combined with his emotive delivery, makes 'Y Asi Asi' a heartfelt ode to love, presence, and the beauty of fleeting moments.
