Contigo

Marta Gómez's song 'Contigo' is a poetic exploration of love and connection, using vivid natural imagery to convey deep emotions. The lyrics are rich with metaphors that draw from the elements—wind, water, earth, and air—each representing different facets of the singer's feelings and experiences. The song opens with the line 'Es de viento que está hecha mi canción' (My song is made of wind), suggesting that her music is as free and boundless as the wind, carrying her emotions and thoughts to the listener. The mention of 'sangre' (blood) and 'dolor' (pain) indicates that her love is also intertwined with suffering, a common theme in romantic poetry and music.

The recurring motif of water in the lyrics, such as 'De agua que navego en tus palabras' (Of water that I navigate in your words) and 'De agua que se inunda la razón' (Of water that floods reason), symbolizes the fluidity and depth of her emotions. Water often represents life, change, and the subconscious, suggesting that her love is both a source of life and a force that overwhelms her rational mind. The imagery of navigating through words and being flooded by reason highlights the complexity and intensity of her feelings.

The song also touches on the grounding aspect of love with the line 'Es de tierra que está hecho el corazón' (The heart is made of earth). This suggests that her love is deeply rooted and essential, much like the earth itself. The heart's insistence on 'anidarse en tu vivir' (nesting in your life) speaks to a desire for permanence and connection. The use of 'aire' (air) in 'De aire que se enreda a cada instante' (Of air that entangles at every moment) adds a sense of lightness and omnipresence, indicating that her love is ever-present and all-encompassing. The repetition of 'Contigo' (With you) throughout the song reinforces the central theme of unity and togetherness, making it clear that all these elements and emotions are tied to her relationship with the beloved.
