Si No Te Vas Con La Tarde

Mari Trini's song 'Si No Te Vas Con La Tarde' is a poetic exploration of love's transformative power and the longing for permanence in a relationship. The lyrics are rich with natural imagery and metaphors that convey the depth of the singer's emotions. The song opens with the imagery of a rose blooming from a rock and a barren land giving roses in her garden, symbolizing how love can bring life and beauty to even the most desolate places. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the singer envisions a world transformed by the presence of her beloved.

The recurring theme of transformation continues as the singer describes how cold snow becomes warm on her lover's skin and how the cruel night turns into splendid light. These lines suggest that love has the power to change one's perception of the world, turning hardships into moments of beauty and warmth. The refrain emphasizes the importance of the lover's presence, stating that if they stay, the wind will become a source of comfort and passion, likened to a caress, ardor, wine, and hunger. This highlights the idea that love can fulfill and sustain, much like essential elements of life.

The song also touches on the idea of eternal waiting and hope. The singer imagines stars descending to her lips and the sea bringing treasures for her beloved, symbolizing the endless possibilities and gifts that love can bring. The mention of sugar from the sea and blood from the river further emphasizes the idea of love as a life-giving force. The repeated plea for the lover not to leave with the evening or the air underscores the fear of losing this transformative love and the desire for it to remain constant. Mari Trini's evocative lyrics and emotive delivery make 'Si No Te Vas Con La Tarde' a poignant reflection on the enduring power of love and the longing for its permanence.
