A Forbidden Love Under the Moon: The Tale of Two Lovers

Simone's song "Dos Enamoradas (Mar e Lua)" is a poetic and evocative narrative about a passionate and forbidden love between two women. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of their intense and urgent love, using the sea as a powerful metaphor for their emotions. The imagery of "besos salados color marejada" (salty kisses the color of the tide) and "dos olas que chocan" (two waves crashing) suggests a love that is both natural and tumultuous, reflecting the highs and lows of their relationship.

The song delves into the challenges they face, loving "contra la corriente" (against the current) and the societal pressures that make their love "prohibido" (forbidden). Despite these obstacles, their love is portrayed as deeply passionate and consuming, with lines like "desnudando espaldas, levantando faldas" (undressing backs, lifting skirts) emphasizing their physical and emotional intimacy. The contrast between one lover's fear and doubt and the other's boldness and desire for the sea highlights the complexity of their relationship.

The moon and the sea are recurring symbols throughout the song, representing both the beauty and the tragedy of their love. The moon witnesses their love, seeing them as "dos burbujas que se vuelven una" (two bubbles that become one), and their final moments are described with a haunting beauty, as they die "lejos de las dunas" (far from the dunes), united in their love. The song's lyrical depth and rich imagery create a poignant and timeless story of love, desire, and the struggle against societal norms.
