Un, Dos, Tres

Victor Drija's song 'Un, Dos, Tres' delves into the complexities of a forbidden romance, marked by a palpable tension between desire and restraint. The repeated counting of 'Un, dos, tres' serves as a rhythmic reminder of the moments shared between the lovers, emphasizing the cyclical nature of their encounters. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that is both passionate and constrained, with the protagonist acknowledging the intense attraction but also the impossibility of pursuing it due to the age difference.

The song's narrative unfolds through a series of intimate moments, such as stolen kisses and secretive touches, all set against the backdrop of societal judgment. Drija's lyrics, 'No somos brujos inevitablemente / Existe magia si nos vemos frente a frente,' suggest that while they are not magicians, there is an undeniable magic when they are together. This metaphor highlights the enchanting yet forbidden nature of their connection. The protagonist's internal struggle is evident as he tries to balance his feelings with the need for discretion, often counting to maintain control over his emotions.

Cultural references to the importance of reputation and societal norms are woven throughout the song. The repeated line, 'Pero por tu edad no me puedo arriesgar,' underscores the societal pressures and potential consequences of their relationship. The song captures the bittersweet essence of a love that must remain hidden, with the protagonist ultimately resigning himself to the fact that 'Yo no te debo amar.' Drija's emotive delivery and the song's infectious rhythm make 'Un, Dos, Tres' a compelling exploration of love, desire, and the boundaries imposed by society.
