Nuestro Secreto

Carlos Vives' song 'Nuestro Secreto' delves into the thrilling and clandestine nature of a secret love affair. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two individuals who share an intense and electrifying connection, one that leaves them both yearning for more. The song opens with the protagonist reflecting on the unexpected yet eagerly awaited love that has left him dreaming and constantly thinking about the other person. This love is described as something sacred and profound, a sentiment that is further emphasized by the repeated phrase 'sagrado, sagrado' (sacred, sacred).

The chorus of the song highlights the secrecy of their relationship, with the protagonist vowing not to reveal their 'secreto de amor' (secret of love) to anyone. The imagery of a 'radiante noche de Luna' (radiant moonlit night) sets a romantic and almost magical scene, suggesting that their love is something extraordinary and out of the ordinary. The song also contrasts their unique love with the more common and perhaps less meaningful experiences, as indicated by the line 'que no es otro reggaeton' (that it's not just another reggaeton).

In the latter part of the song, Vives uses metaphors to describe their relationship, comparing them to 'dos alas de mariposa' (two butterfly wings) and 'el silencio del mar profundo' (the silence of the deep sea). These metaphors evoke a sense of beauty, mystery, and depth, reinforcing the idea that their love is something rare and precious. The song concludes with a sense of longing and desire, as the protagonist admits that he is left wanting more of this secret love. The overall tone of the song is one of passion, secrecy, and a deep emotional connection that transcends the ordinary.
