Suma

Ricardo Montaner's song 'Suma' is a poetic exploration of love and connection, using the metaphor of addition to illustrate the deep bond between two people. The lyrics invite the listener to 'add' various elements of their lives and emotions to create a more profound and meaningful relationship. Montaner begins by asking to add kisses, freckles, and the sparkle in the eyes, symbolizing the small yet significant details that make love unique and personal.

The song continues to build on this theme by combining emotional states and experiences. Montaner speaks of adding his surprise to the partner's embrace, his affection to their patience, and his complaints to their pain. This blending of emotions suggests a partnership where both individuals contribute to and support each other, creating a balanced and harmonious relationship. The repeated request to 'sopla un suspiro' (blow a sigh) adds a touch of vulnerability and longing, emphasizing the need for mutual comfort and understanding.

'Suma' also delves into the spiritual and existential aspects of love. Montaner asks to add dreams, faith, and the love of believers to their thoughts, highlighting the importance of shared aspirations and beliefs in a relationship. The idea of never subtracting or ceasing to love underscores the commitment and permanence that Montaner envisions. By summing their destinies and countless affections, he paints a picture of an infinite, ever-growing love. The song's lyrical beauty and emotional depth make it a heartfelt ode to the power of love and connection.
