Niña Dura

In 'Niña Dura,' Voz Veis crafts a heartfelt narrative about the complexities of love and the yearning to connect deeply with someone who seems just out of reach. The song's protagonist is enamored with a woman he refers to as 'niña dura,' a term that can be interpreted as 'tough girl' or 'hard-to-get girl.' This nickname sets the tone for the song, highlighting the challenge he faces in winning her affection. He desires more than just physical attraction; he wants to understand her perspective, share intimate moments, and be a constant presence in her life.

The lyrics are rich with metaphors and vivid imagery. The protagonist expresses his wish to be a 'grillo en la penumbra' (a cricket in the twilight) that sings in her solitude, symbolizing his desire to be a comforting and enduring presence. He dreams of building a life together, even imagining a future where they have a football team of children, a metaphor for a large, loving family. The repeated refrain 'Como enamorarte, como puedo atraparte' (How to make you fall in love, how can I catch you) underscores his frustration and longing, as she continually eludes his grasp like a hare slipping through his feet.

Voz Veis, known for their harmonious vocals and romantic ballads, infuses 'Niña Dura' with a blend of passion and tenderness. The song's emotional depth is further enhanced by the poetic language, such as wanting to be 'lluvia que moja tu piel' (rain that wets your skin) and a 'verso en tu canción' (a verse in your song). These lines convey his wish to be an integral part of her life, to the point of becoming a permanent resident in her heart. The song captures the universal experience of unrequited love and the lengths one will go to win the heart of the beloved.
