Encadenado

Pablo Abraira's song 'Encadenado' delves into the complexities of a passionate and tumultuous relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who is deeply infatuated and emotionally entangled with his lover. The repeated phrase 'Me tienes tonto mi amor' (You have me foolish, my love) sets the tone for the song, highlighting the protagonist's helplessness and vulnerability. He describes being 'cosido tu olor' (sewn with your scent) and carrying it everywhere, indicating how deeply ingrained his lover's presence is in his life.

The song uses powerful metaphors to convey the protagonist's emotional state. He feels 'encadenado a tu piel' (chained to your skin) and 'encadenado al placer' (chained to pleasure), suggesting that his physical and emotional connection to his lover is both a source of immense joy and a form of imprisonment. The imagery of being 'enredado en tu piel' (entangled in your skin) and caught in a 'telaraña' (spider web) further emphasizes the inescapable nature of his feelings. Despite his attempts to assert control, he finds himself powerless, as his lover's kisses and touch render him incapable of resistance.

The duality of the relationship is also evident in the lyrics. The protagonist refers to his lover as both his 'compañera de prisión' (prison companion) and 'carcelera' (jailer), highlighting the paradox of feeling both connected and confined. This duality is further explored through the contrast between 'besos y desengaños' (kisses and disappointments) and the mix of 'fiera y mujer' (beast and woman) in his lover. The song captures the intense emotions and contradictions that often accompany deep, passionate relationships, making it a poignant exploration of love's binding and liberating forces.
