Dime

In 'Dime' by Nuevas Raices, the lyrics delve into the enduring and sometimes tumultuous nature of love. The song opens with the singer reflecting on a past they believed to have forgotten, only to find that the love they once felt still burns brightly in their soul. This metaphorical 'fire' represents a passion that refuses to be extinguished, suggesting that true love leaves an indelible mark on one's heart and soul.

The narrative continues with a recollection of an unexpected moment when the singer stole a kiss, an act that seems to have imprisoned their love within the heart of the beloved. This imagery of love being 'incarcerated' in someone's heart speaks to the powerful and sometimes overwhelming nature of romantic feelings. It suggests that love can be both a beautiful and confining experience, where one's emotions are deeply tied to another person.

The chorus, where the singer asks, 'Dime que es lo que ha pasado por que te has robado a mi corazón,' translates to 'Tell me what has happened, why have you stolen my heart.' This line encapsulates the confusion and intensity of love, likening it to a poison that the singer has willingly consumed. The 'veneno de este loco amor' or 'poison of this crazy love' highlights the paradox of love being both a source of joy and pain. The song beautifully captures the essence of love's complexity, portraying it as an all-consuming force that can bring both ecstasy and agony.
