Escondidos ( Duo Con Cristian Castro )

Olga Tañón's duet with Cristian Castro, 'Escondidos,' is a passionate exploration of a clandestine love affair. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of two lovers who find solace and intimacy in the secrecy of their hidden encounters. The repeated plea to 'besame' (kiss me) and the promise to love 'un poco más que ayer' (a little more than yesterday) highlight the deep emotional connection and the desire to cherish every moment together, despite the constraints of their situation.

The metaphor of being 'escondidos' (hidden) serves as a central theme, symbolizing not just the physical act of hiding but also the emotional depth and intensity that comes with a forbidden love. The lovers are described as being 'atrapados sin poder salir' (trapped without being able to escape) from each other's inner worlds, emphasizing the inescapable nature of their bond. The imagery of a dark room and the ticking clock adds to the sense of urgency and the fleeting nature of their time together, making each moment precious and intense.

The song also touches on the transformative power of love, as seen in the lines 'Clandestinamente intercambiamos el calor' (Clandestinely we exchange warmth) and 'Indiscutiblemente terminamos viendo el sol' (Undoubtedly we end up seeing the sun). These lines suggest that despite the secrecy and the challenges, their love brings light and warmth into their lives. The duet format, with both Tañón and Castro's voices intertwining, further enhances the sense of unity and shared experience, making 'Escondidos' a powerful ode to the complexities and beauty of hidden love.
