El Embrujo

Morat's 'El Embrujo,' which translates to 'The Spell' in English, is a poignant song that delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the desperation to make the beloved reciprocate those feelings. The lyrics reveal the inner conflict of the narrator, who has fallen in love with a friend but has been too afraid to confess his feelings. Instead, he has watched from the sidelines, suffering in silence as others have caused her pain.

The song's chorus uses the metaphor of casting a spell as a last resort to win over the beloved's heart. The narrator expresses a wish to control the moon and create a magical spell to prevent anyone else from touching or kissing her, hoping that these supernatural efforts will make her stay with him. This imagery conveys the intensity of his emotions and the lengths he is willing to go to for love. The repeated line 'voy a hechizarte a mil voces' or 'I will bewitch you with a thousand voices' emphasizes his determination and the echo of his unspoken love.

In the bridge, the narrator apologizes for his silence and admits that he should have confessed his love sooner. He asserts that his love is true and that he didn't choose to fall in love—it just happened. Interestingly, he concludes by revealing that she has cast a spell on him first, suggesting that perhaps his love is not as unrequited as he thought. This twist adds depth to the song, as it hints at a mutual attraction that has been left unexplored due to fear and hesitation.
