Esto Es Vida

Robi Draco Rosa's song 'Esto Es Vida' is a poetic exploration of the profound and simple joys that define a meaningful life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of intimacy and connection, emphasizing the beauty found in the small, everyday moments shared with a loved one. The opening lines, 'Besar tus ojos oscuros / Dejar atrás las heridas,' suggest a healing process through love, where past wounds are left behind in favor of a present filled with affection and closeness. The repeated phrase 'Esto es vida' underscores the idea that true life is found in these intimate, shared experiences.

The song continues to build on this theme by describing a dreamlike vision of a life together, free from the burdens of the past. 'Vamos a hacer nuestra casa en el cielo / En el cielo de alguna selva' evokes a sense of escapism and the creation of a personal paradise. This imagery of building a home in the sky or a jungle symbolizes a fresh start, a place where love can grow unencumbered. The act of 'cultivar amor en rama / Y plantar estrellas' further emphasizes the nurturing and aspirational aspects of love, suggesting that love is something that needs to be tended to and cherished.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring motif of consuming love, both literally and metaphorically. 'Beber amor cada noche / Y comer amor cada día' illustrates the idea that love is sustenance, essential for life. This metaphor extends to the notion of burning away the past and being 'desnudos de todo,' or stripped of all else, to live a life purely defined by love. In 'Esto Es Vida,' Robi Draco Rosa encapsulates the essence of life as an intimate, loving connection that transcends material concerns and past traumas, offering a vision of life that is both idyllic and deeply human.
