Aunque Es de Noche

ROSALÍA's 'Aunque Es de Noche' is a song that delves into the realm of spirituality and the search for a deeper understanding of life's mysteries. The lyrics, which are rich in metaphor and symbolism, speak of a 'fountain that flows and runs' even in the darkness of night. This fountain is not just a physical entity but represents a source of spiritual nourishment and enlightenment that is hidden yet accessible to those who seek it with faith.

The repetition of 'Aunque es de noche' (Although it is night) emphasizes the idea that even in the darkest times, there is a source of light and truth that remains constant and unobscured. The song suggests that this source is beyond human comprehension ('Su origen no lo sé, pues no lo tiene'), yet it is the origin of all things. The lyrics convey a sense of awe and reverence for this eternal fountain, which is so bountiful that it sustains everything from the heavens to the earth, and even the underworld.

ROSALÍA's interpretation of these lyrics, which are based on a poem by the 16th-century Spanish mystic Saint John of the Cross, is imbued with her unique blend of flamenco influences and contemporary sounds. The song's spiritual theme is universal, touching on the human longing for connection with something greater than oneself. It speaks to the resilience of faith and the belief that even in the absence of light, or understanding, there is a divine presence that guides and sustains us.
