Hu Hu Hu (Con Julieta Venegas)

Natalia Lafourcade's song 'Hu Hu Hu,' featuring Julieta Venegas, is a whimsical and heartfelt ode to love and the desire to give everything to a beloved. The lyrics are filled with poetic imagery and metaphors that convey a deep sense of affection and the wish to create a perfect world for the person she loves. Lafourcade's gentle and melodic voice, combined with Venegas' harmonies, adds a layer of warmth and sincerity to the song, making it a touching and memorable piece.

The song opens with the desire to gift the stars, the moon, and an extra hour to breathe, symbolizing the wish to provide the most beautiful and precious things in the universe. The mention of a cake, a cherry, and a paper with letters or drawings suggests simple yet meaningful gestures that come from the heart. The recurring line about a clock that doesn't use time and flowers that bring joy highlights the theme of timelessness and the desire to create moments of pure happiness.

As the song progresses, Lafourcade expresses a longing to see how the beloved moves, to invent words, and to make these moments happen again. This reflects a deep yearning to understand and connect with the loved one on a profound level. The desire to stop the wind and time, and to wake up, signifies a wish to capture and hold onto these precious moments forever. The repeated 'Hu hu hu' throughout the song adds a playful and dreamy quality, emphasizing the whimsical nature of love and the joy it brings.

'Quiero regalarte las estrellas' (I want to give you the stars) and 'Quiero detener el tiempo' (I want to stop time) are powerful expressions of the lengths one would go to for love. The song beautifully captures the essence of wanting to create a perfect, timeless world for someone special, filled with joy, creativity, and endless possibilities.
