Estabas Ahi

Moenia's song 'Estabas Ahi' is a captivating exploration of the intense emotions and sensations that arise from a powerful, almost mystical connection with another person. The lyrics describe a moment of profound impact when the protagonist sees someone who immediately alters their state of being. The phrase 'deteniendo el momento en que te vi' (stopping the moment when I saw you) suggests a timeless, almost magical encounter that disrupts the protagonist's tranquility and draws them into a state of fascination and longing.

The chorus amplifies this sense of enchantment, as the protagonist describes feeling the presence of the other person without physical contact. The line 'y sin tocarte puedo sentirte sobre mi' (and without touching you, I can feel you over me) speaks to a deep, almost spiritual connection that transcends the physical realm. This connection is so powerful that it overwhelms the protagonist with sensations that go beyond their control, highlighting the intensity of their emotions. The imagery of hearing the person's voice and being carried away by it, as well as the desire to breathe in their scent, further emphasizes the all-encompassing nature of this attraction.

In the second verse, the lyrics continue to paint a picture of the profound impact this person has on the protagonist. The lines 'refrescando con tu risa mi razon' (refreshing my reason with your laughter) and 'dibujando con tu forma una ilusion' (drawing an illusion with your form) suggest that the presence of this person brings clarity and inspiration, transforming the protagonist's reality into something more vibrant and dreamlike. The natural desire to be with this person again, as expressed in 'ya es natural desearte asi, y vas a ser mia una vez mas' (it's natural to desire you like this, and you will be mine once more), underscores the deep longing and inevitability of their connection.

Overall, 'Estabas Ahi' by Moenia is a beautifully crafted song that delves into the profound impact of a powerful connection, capturing the essence of longing, enchantment, and the transformative power of presence.
