Diamantes (feat. El Zar)

The song 'Diamantes' by Siddhartha, featuring El Zar, is a poetic exploration of a transient yet intense romantic relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia and the bittersweet memory of a love that was both beautiful and ephemeral, much like diamonds that shine brightly but can represent something that doesn't last forever.

The opening lines set the scene of departure, with 'certezas' (certainties) left behind and an 'open suitcase' filled with the lingering scent of a lover. This imagery suggests a recent separation, leaving the narrator with a mix of memories and sensations. The reference to the 'galaxy of your boulevard' and the silhouette perceived in walking evokes the vastness of the emotional space the lover occupies and the enduring impression they've left. The 'full moon' mentioned in the song could symbolize completeness or a moment of clarity within the cycle of the relationship.

The chorus emphasizes the theme of a fleeting but significant connection with the phrase 'Fuimos diamantes' (We were diamonds). The relationship is described as a 'magical mistake' that somehow saved them, indicating that despite its impermanence, the love they shared was transformative. The lyrics also touch on the resilience of their bond, which persisted 'against wind and tide' and was fueled by the very air that should have extinguished it. This paradoxical imagery captures the complex nature of their love, which was both vulnerable to and invigorated by external forces.
