Vivo Cantando

Salome's song 'Vivo Cantando' is a heartfelt expression of the transformative power of love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has experienced a profound change in their emotional state since the arrival of a significant other. The opening lines reflect a period of wandering and silence, suggesting a time of loneliness and unspoken feelings. The mention of 'a profound hope' and 'a distant echo' indicates that even during these dark times, there was a glimmer of hope and a sense of connection to the person they now cherish.

The chorus, repeated throughout the song, emphasizes the dramatic shift from sorrow to joy. The phrase 'Desde que llegaste ya no vivo llorando' (Since you arrived, I no longer live crying) captures the essence of this transformation. The protagonist now lives 'singing' and 'dreaming,' highlighting the joy and optimism that love has brought into their life. However, there is also a sense of vulnerability and uncertainty, as they ask, 'Sólo quiero que me digas qué está pasando' (I just want you to tell me what's happening) and 'Pero me pregunto que tu amor hasta cuándo' (But I wonder how long your love will last). These lines reveal a fear of losing this newfound happiness and a desire for reassurance.

The repetition of the chorus underscores the intensity of these emotions. The protagonist is 'trembling' with the excitement and fear of being close to their loved one, indicating the overwhelming impact of this relationship. Salome's passionate delivery of the lyrics adds to the emotional depth of the song, making 'Vivo Cantando' a powerful ode to the highs and lows of love. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the transformative power of love and the accompanying mix of joy and apprehension.
