Dame Una Señal

In 'Dame Una Señal,' Sabela delves into the uncertainty and vulnerability that often accompany the early stages of love. The song's protagonist is portrayed as a 'traveler' in the gaze of their beloved, feeling isolated and unable to decipher the true intentions behind the other person's actions. This metaphor of being a traveler highlights the journey and exploration inherent in understanding another person's feelings. The repeated plea for a 'signal' underscores the need for clear communication and reassurance in romantic relationships.

The imagery of a 'paper airplane' further enriches the song's narrative. A paper airplane is delicate and easily swayed by external forces, symbolizing the fragility of the protagonist's emotions. The fear of falling before reaching the destination reflects the anxiety of unreciprocated love or the potential for heartbreak. The protagonist's desire to continue 'flying without stopping' despite the uncertainty shows a willingness to pursue love, but also a need for some form of assurance that their efforts will be met with reciprocation.

Sabela's lyrics also touch on the theme of patience wearing thin. The line 'my eyes will look the other way' and 'my plane will not take off' if the beloved's love continues to play 'hide and seek' suggests that the protagonist is reaching a breaking point. The song captures the emotional toll of waiting for a clear sign of affection and the eventual decision to move on if that clarity is not provided. This narrative resonates with anyone who has experienced the frustration of ambiguous romantic signals and the longing for certainty in love.
