Desesperados

Noel Schajris' song 'Desesperados' delves into the intense and often tumultuous nature of a passionate love affair. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two lovers who are deeply entangled in each other's lives, both physically and emotionally. The opening lines, 'Tu boca que llama a mi boca / Tu cuerpo que sabe a mi cuerpo,' suggest a magnetic attraction that is almost irresistible. This connection is described as both exhilarating and dangerous, with phrases like 'mil juegos prohibidos' (a thousand forbidden games) and 'espina sin rosas' (thorn without roses) highlighting the bittersweet nature of their relationship.

The chorus, 'Estamos enredados vida / Corazón pegados niña / Al fuego abandonados, / Y casi, casi desesperados,' captures the essence of their desperate entanglement. They are 'enredados' (entangled) and 'pegados' (stuck) to each other, abandoned to the fire of their passion. The repetition of 'casi, casi desesperados' (almost, almost desperate) emphasizes the precarious balance they maintain, teetering on the edge of emotional chaos. This love is portrayed as a double-edged sword, offering both freedom and the risk of deep emotional wounds.

In the verses, Schajris explores the raw, almost primal nature of their connection. Lines like 'Me pierdo en un mundo distinto / Le quitas el lujo a mi instinto' (I lose myself in a different world / You strip the luxury from my instinct) and 'Salvajes caricias, / Amargas delicias' (Wild caresses, / Bitter delights) suggest a love that is both liberating and consuming. The lovers are described as 'dos victimas para el delirio' (two victims for the delirium), indicating that their passion is as much a source of suffering as it is of joy. The song concludes with a sense of reckless abandon, as Schajris sings, 'Puedo arriesgarme a todo / Ya no me siento solo / Tu me das libertad / Puedo quererte mas y mas' (I can risk everything / I no longer feel alone / You give me freedom / I can love you more and more).

'Noel Schajris' 'Desesperados' is a powerful exploration of the highs and lows of a passionate love affair. It captures the essence of a relationship that is both exhilarating and fraught with danger, where the lovers are constantly on the brink of emotional collapse yet find a sense of freedom and fulfillment in their connection.
