Alma Gemela
Reyli Barba
The Intimate Connection of Soulmates
The song "Alma Gemela" by Reyli Barba is a romantic ballad that delves into the profound connection and serenity found in a deep, loving relationship. The lyrics metaphorically compare the calmness at the bottom of a river and the wisdom that comes with the passage of time to the peace the singer feels when with his beloved. This suggests that the presence of the loved one brings a sense of tranquility and understanding that is as natural and essential as the flow of a river or the inevitability of time.
The imagery of making love 'like the blind' without shame and not noticing the sunrise speaks to the intense intimacy and abandon in their connection. It's a celebration of love that is pure, unguarded, and free from societal constraints, much like birds flying without caution. This level of intimacy and connection is what the singer identifies as having always been missing from his life. The term 'soulmate' is used to describe this person who is not just a lover but a kindred spirit, someone who completes him and brings good fortune and peace.
The song's chorus emphasizes the idea of a soulmate as someone who is more than what one could ask for, a guiding star, and a window to paradise. The repeated references to natural elements and the use of sensory deprivation (like the blind) highlight the transcendental nature of this bond. It's a love that is felt deeply and instinctively, beyond the physical realm, and into the spiritual, where two souls are perfectly aligned.
