Derroche

Lupita D'Alessio's song 'Derroche' is a vivid portrayal of a night filled with unrestrained passion and emotional intensity. The lyrics paint a picture of an intimate evening where time seems to stand still, symbolized by the 'reloj de cuerda suspendido' (suspended clock) and the 'teléfono desconectado' (disconnected phone). These elements suggest a deliberate disconnection from the outside world, allowing the lovers to immerse themselves fully in each other's presence. The imagery of 'una mesa dos copas de vino' (a table with two glasses of wine) sets the stage for a romantic encounter, where the night takes on a life of its own.

The repeated phrase 'a la noche se le fue la mano' (the night got out of hand) underscores the idea of losing control in the throes of passion. The lovers communicate through their gazes, needing no words to express their feelings. The chorus, with its refrain of 'Besos, ternura, qué derroche de amor, cuánta locura' (Kisses, tenderness, what a waste of love, how much madness), captures the overwhelming nature of their emotions. The word 'derroche' (waste) is used ironically here, as it implies an abundance rather than a squandering of love and affection.

The song also touches on the fleeting nature of such intense moments. The lovers are described as 'dos irracionales que se iban a morir mañana' (two irrational beings who were going to die tomorrow), emphasizing their disregard for the future and their focus on the present. This sense of urgency and the desire to prolong the night ('Que no acabe esta noche, ni esta Luna de abril' - Let this night not end, nor this April moon) highlight the ephemeral beauty of their connection. 'Derroche' is a celebration of living in the moment and embracing the full spectrum of human emotions, from tenderness to madness.
