Para entregarte el alma

Nelson Velasquez's song "Para entregarte el alma" is a heartfelt serenade that beautifully captures the essence of deep, unwavering love. The lyrics are rich with vivid imagery and metaphors, painting a picture of a lover who is completely enamored and devoted. The song opens with the metaphor of a butterfly, symbolizing the delicate and transformative nature of love. The butterfly, described as 'mariposa linda,' is invited to rest on the singer's soul, signifying a deep connection and intimacy.

The recurring theme of nature, with references to spring, flowers, and the sea, underscores the purity and timelessness of the love being expressed. The singer compares his beloved's eyes to the 'verde marino al final del ocaso,' or the green sea at sunset, highlighting their captivating beauty and the sense of peace they bring him. This natural imagery not only enhances the romantic atmosphere but also suggests that this love is as enduring and beautiful as the natural world itself.

The chorus, with its promise to 'entregarte el alma' (give you my soul), encapsulates the depth of the singer's commitment. He speaks of leaving treasures of pink flowers and sunflowers under his beloved's window, symbolizing his desire to bring joy and beauty into her life. The mention of the guitar and the moon as witnesses to his eternal love adds a poetic and timeless quality to the song, reminiscent of traditional serenades. Velasquez's passionate delivery and the emotive lyrics make this song a touching ode to everlasting love and devotion, resonating with anyone who has experienced the profound connection of true love.
