Proposiciones

Pablo Milanés' song 'Proposiciones' is a poetic and heartfelt invitation to share in the beauty and passion of life. The lyrics are rich with vivid imagery and metaphors, creating a tapestry of emotions and experiences. Milanés begins by suggesting that the listener enjoy the day, using sensory experiences to enhance the moment. The 'palma que bate en tus oídos' (a palm that beats in your ears) and 'un cocodrilo verde en tu mirada' (a green crocodile in your gaze) evoke a sense of rhythm and vividness, suggesting a lively and colorful experience.

The second stanza continues this theme of shared joy and love. Milanés proposes that the listener's voice, filled with love, should travel through paths and roads, announcing the arrival of spring. This metaphor of spring symbolizes renewal, hope, and new beginnings. The 'crisol de esta morada' (the crucible of this dwelling) suggests a place where different elements come together to create something beautiful and unique, much like the blending of two lives in love.

In the final stanza, Milanés speaks of sharing his efforts and dreams with the listener. He emphasizes the importance of passionate dedication, likening it to fulfilling his ultimate dream. This passionate plea for mutual commitment and shared dreams underscores the song's central theme of love and unity. Milanés' lyrical prowess and emotive delivery make 'Proposiciones' a timeless ode to love, passion, and the beauty of shared experiences.
