La Pareja Del Años
Ricardo Montaner
The Enigmatic Romance of 'La Pareja Del Año'
Ricardo Montaner's song 'La Pareja Del Año' paints a vivid picture of a passionate and somewhat rebellious relationship. The lyrics describe a couple who are deeply infatuated with each other, often engaging in public displays of affection that go beyond societal norms. They are not discreet; their 'porte y glamour' (bearing and glamour) make them stand out in any social gathering. This couple thrives on the thrill of being noticed and admired, almost as if they are performing for an audience. Their relationship is characterized by a sense of superiority and exclusivity, as they see themselves as a 'pareja superior' (superior couple) and a 'modelo Dior' (Dior model), suggesting a high level of sophistication and allure.
The song also delves into the clandestine aspects of their romance. They seek out darkness and find excuses to escape, indicating a desire for privacy amidst their public displays. This duality adds a layer of complexity to their relationship, as they balance their need for attention with moments of intimate seclusion. The lyrics 'ella un poco alocada y yo peor' (she's a bit crazy and I'm worse) hint at a playful, almost chaotic dynamic between the two, further emphasizing their unique bond.
In the latter part of the song, Montaner describes more intimate moments, such as touching each other beneath their clothes at the dining table and taking a bath together. These actions are not just acts of physical intimacy but also symbolize their deep emotional connection and willingness to break societal conventions for the sake of their love. Dancing under the rain to a love ballad encapsulates the romantic and whimsical nature of their relationship, making them the 'pareja del año' (couple of the year) in their own eyes and perhaps in the eyes of society as well.
