Derroche

Rodrigo Bueno's song 'Derroche' is a passionate ode to a night of unrestrained love and intimacy. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a romantic evening where time seems to stand still, symbolized by the 'reloj de cuerda suspendido' (suspended clock) and the 'teléfono desconectado' (disconnected phone). These elements suggest a deliberate disconnection from the outside world, allowing the lovers to immerse themselves fully in each other's presence. The imagery of 'dos copas de vino' (two glasses of wine) and the 'luz rosada' (rosy light) sets a sensual and intimate atmosphere, emphasizing the depth of their connection.

The repeated refrain 'Besos, ternura, qué derroche de amor, cuánta locura' (Kisses, tenderness, what a waste of love, how much madness) captures the essence of their passionate encounter. The word 'derroche' (waste) is used metaphorically to describe the abundance and extravagance of their love, suggesting that they are giving themselves to each other without holding back. This unrestrained passion is further highlighted by the lines 'Parecíamos dos irracionales que se iban a morir mañana' (We seemed like two irrational beings who were going to die tomorrow), indicating a sense of urgency and intensity in their actions.

The song also touches on the theme of timelessness and the desire for the night to never end. The lines 'Que no acabe esta noche, ni esta Luna de abril' (May this night never end, nor this April moon) express a longing to prolong the magical moment they are experiencing. The idea that 'Para entrar en el cielo, no es preciso morir' (To enter heaven, it is not necessary to die) suggests that their love and connection are so profound that they feel like they are in a state of blissful transcendence. Overall, 'Derroche' is a celebration of love's intensity and the beauty of living in the moment.
