Miel

Rawayana's song 'Miel' is a poetic and sensuous exploration of love and connection. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a deep, almost spiritual bond between two people. The opening lines, 'Eres religion, y arte / Un diccionario sin palabras, pa' explicarte,' suggest that the subject of the song is beyond ordinary description, elevating them to the realms of religion and art. This sets the tone for a relationship that is both profound and ineffable, where words fall short in capturing the essence of the beloved.

The recurring metaphor of 'miel' (honey) throughout the song symbolizes sweetness, attraction, and a sticky, inseparable bond. Lines like 'De este panal tú eres la reina (de la colmena)' and 'Eso que a ti te saca la miel / En tus besos es que me quiero perder' emphasize the idea of the beloved as the queen bee in a hive, central to the speaker's world. The imagery of honey also conveys a sense of nourishment and healing, suggesting that the relationship brings comfort and joy to the speaker's life.

The song also delves into the physical and emotional sensations of being in love. Phrases like 'Una sensación fuera de lo común / Cuando estoy contigo' and 'Quiero conocer / Eso que a ti te eriza la piel' highlight the extraordinary feelings and curiosity that come with deep affection. The repetition of 'Miel pa' lo amargo / Humo de palo santo' serves as a mantra, indicating that love is a remedy for life's bitterness, much like honey and sacred smoke are used for healing and purification in various cultures.

'Miel' by Rawayana is a rich tapestry of metaphors and emotions, celebrating the sweetness and depth of love. It captures the essence of a relationship that is both grounding and elevating, filled with moments of pure connection and mutual discovery.
