De Caramelo

Niña Pastori's song 'De Caramelo' is a poignant exploration of longing, love, and heartbreak. The lyrics convey a deep sense of yearning for a lost love, someone who was once the center of the singer's world but has since been taken away by the winds of fate. The opening lines, 'Cuánto anhelo el amor de mi vida que un día se llevó el viento,' set the tone for the entire song, expressing a profound desire to be reunited with a significant other who is no longer present.

The song delves into the transformation that love brings to one's life. Before meeting this person, the singer's life was different, perhaps simpler and less fulfilling. The lines 'Cuando no te conocía mi vida era diferente' suggest that the presence of this love brought a new dimension to her existence. However, this love also brought pain and disillusionment, as reflected in the lines 'yo te prometo la Luna y al cabo de tantos años sólo me diste amargura,' where promises of eternal happiness turned into years of bitterness and disappointment.

Metaphors play a significant role in the song, with 'Tus ojos vuelan como un cometa que va perdío buscando el cielo' painting a vivid picture of eyes searching for something unattainable, much like a comet lost in the vastness of the sky. The 'boca de caramelo' or 'caramel mouth' symbolizes the sweetness of the lover's kiss, a sweetness that is now just a memory. Niña Pastori's flamenco roots shine through in the emotional depth and expressive delivery of the lyrics, making 'De Caramelo' a heartfelt ode to the complexities of love and loss.
