Embracing Childhood Dreams: A Nostalgic Journey in 'Enfance 80'
Natalia Lacunza's song 'Enfance 80,' featuring Videoclub, is a nostalgic ode to the innocence and dreams of childhood. The lyrics, a blend of Spanish and French, evoke a sense of longing for the simplicity and purity of youth. The song opens with the lines 'He tocado el pasado con mis dedos / He vivido el ayer,' which translates to 'I have touched the past with my fingers / I have lived yesterday.' This sets the tone for a reflective journey back to a time when life was less complicated and dreams were boundless.
The recurring theme of dreams and the refusal to let go of them is central to the song. Lines like 'Pourquoi dejar de soñar? / Si puedo encontrar la paz' ('Why stop dreaming? / If I can find peace') highlight the importance of holding onto one's dreams as a source of peace and fulfillment. The song suggests that even as we grow older and face the harsh realities of life, our childhood dreams can provide solace and a sense of purpose.
The collaboration with Videoclub adds a layer of depth to the song, with the French lyrics bringing in a different cultural perspective. Phrases like 'Je laisse aux autres les demain / Moi je prends que les maintenant' ('I leave tomorrow to others / I only take the now') emphasize living in the present and cherishing the moment. The song also touches on the disillusionment that comes with adulthood, as seen in the lines 'Les adultes ils crient, ils râlent / Disent des choses qui servent à rien' ('Adults scream, they complain / Say things that are useless'). This contrast between the carefree days of childhood and the burdens of adult life underscores the song's message of finding joy and meaning in the dreams of our youth.
'Enfance 80' is a beautiful reminder to cherish our inner child and the dreams that once fueled our imaginations. It encourages listeners to find peace in those dreams and to live in the present, rather than being consumed by the worries of the future.
