Ella Es Así
Pastrana
The Charm of Imperfect Perfection
"Ella Es Así" by Pastrana is a heartfelt tribute to a woman whose imperfections and quirks are celebrated by the narrator. The song paints a vivid picture of a relationship where the woman's unique traits, such as needing extra sleep and taking her time to get ready, are embraced rather than criticized. The narrator acknowledges that she often has a response for everything, and even when she's wrong, he prefers to keep her happy rather than argue. This dynamic highlights a deep affection and understanding, where her happiness is prioritized over being right.
The chorus emphasizes her unapologetic nature, describing her as "tan descarada" or "so shameless," yet this is part of her charm. She doesn't ask for forgiveness because she knows her kisses can mend any disagreement. This playful resolution to conflicts underscores a lighthearted and loving relationship, where her kisses are a magical solution that the narrator enjoys. Her laughter is depicted as a source of joy, brightening the narrator's world, especially when it's directed at him.
The song also touches on the complexity of understanding someone who might not fully understand themselves. Despite this, the narrator finds joy in the challenge, as her presence makes him a better person. The repeated affirmation that she is "toda perfecta y hecha pa' mí" (completely perfect and made for me) encapsulates the theme of finding perfection in imperfection. The song beautifully captures the essence of love that embraces and celebrates the unique qualities of a partner, making it a relatable and endearing anthem for anyone who has experienced such a connection.
