Revolucion

Luis Enrique Mejía Godoy's song 'Revolucion' is a passionate call to arms, but not in the traditional sense. Instead of advocating for political upheaval, the song uses the metaphor of revolution to describe a transformative and defiant love. The lyrics paint a picture of two lovers who must meet in secret, as their relationship is not accepted by the world around them. This clandestine love is likened to a form of dissent, a rebellion against societal norms and expectations.

The song's chorus emphasizes the urgency and necessity of this 'revolution' in love. The repeated lines 'Que ya es tiempo de hacer una revolucion' ('It's time to make a revolution') and 'A la hara de amar, una revolucion' ('In the name of love, a revolution') highlight the idea that love itself can be a radical, transformative force. The imagery of 'total anarchy' and 'a new heart's law' suggests that this love is not just a personal affair but a challenge to the status quo, a way to create a new world where love triumphs over all obstacles.

The song also speaks to the power of physical affection as a form of resistance. Phrases like 'Con tu boca en la mia' ('With your mouth on mine') and 'La caricia primera abrira la trinchera' ('The first caress will open the trench') use the language of warfare to describe intimate moments, turning acts of love into acts of defiance. This blending of romantic and revolutionary imagery serves to elevate the personal to the level of the political, suggesting that true love can be a powerful, world-changing force.
