Azul

La Onda Vaselina's song 'Azul' delves into the emotional spectrum of love, using the color blue as a central metaphor. The repetitive chant of 'luna azul' (blue moon) sets a dreamy, almost hypnotic tone, suggesting a sense of longing and melancholy. The color blue is traditionally associated with calmness and sadness, and the song leverages this duality to explore the highs and lows of romantic relationships.

The lyrics describe how blue symbolizes the initial stages of love, where one person falls for another. This phase is depicted as a beautiful yet vulnerable time, where emotions are intense and the outcome is uncertain. The line 'Azul es el color del amor cuando alguno de los dos va y se enamora primero' (Blue is the color of love when one of the two falls in love first) captures this beautifully, highlighting the fragility and excitement of newfound affection.

As the song progresses, it delves into the pain of unreciprocated love. The sunset turning blue and the heart becoming blue when love is not returned are powerful images that convey deep emotional distress. The lyrics 'más si en sus ojos solo encuentras frío, azul se vuelve tu pobre corazón' (but if in their eyes you only find coldness, your poor heart turns blue) poignantly express the sorrow of unfulfilled love. The song concludes with the blue moon and blue nights during storms, symbolizing the enduring sadness and loneliness that can accompany love's disappointments.

'Azul' by La Onda Vaselina is a poignant exploration of love's emotional landscape, using the color blue to encapsulate both the beauty and the sorrow that come with romantic relationships.
