Sempre Balla

Txarango's 'Sempre Balla' is a poetic exploration of memory, love, and the relentless passage of time. The song's title, which translates to 'Always Dancing,' sets the tone for a narrative that intertwines the stillness of night with the perpetual motion of the heart. The opening lines suggest a world that appears to be at rest, yet the heart of the narrator is in constant motion, dancing to an internal rhythm that defies the quietude around it. This metaphor of a dancing heart serves as a powerful symbol of enduring passion and the refusal to succumb to the inertia of life.

The lyrics delve into the realm of memories, evoking sensations and emotions that the narrator believed to be long gone. The recollection of a past love brings forth vivid images of shared moments, described as a dance of delirium within the intimate space of a room. The 'light of your room' and the 'stronger and stronger beats' of the heart emphasize the intensity and vividness of these memories. The song captures the bittersweet nature of reminiscing, where the past is both a source of joy and a reminder of what has been lost.

As the song progresses, it paints a picture of a city winding down for the night, with people returning home and a 'old lady sweeping the theater of nightmares.' This imagery suggests a cleansing of the past, yet the narrator continues to walk through the silent streets, counting the few lit windows that keep the 'purple night' alive with the memories of years gone by. The refusal to extinguish the flame symbolizes a resistance to letting go of the past, a desire to keep the memories burning bright even as time marches on. 'Sempre Balla' is a poignant reminder that while the world may seem to pause, the heart continues to dance, driven by the echoes of love and memory.
