Inséparables (feat. Pablo Alborán)
Zaz
The Unbreakable Bond of Love in 'Inséparables'
In 'Inséparables,' Zaz and Pablo Alborán craft a poignant narrative about the deep, unbreakable bond between two people. The song opens with a sense of longing and nostalgia, as Zaz sings about wanting to look at her partner without any regrets or brokenness. This sets the tone for a reflection on the purity and simplicity of love, free from the complications and pains that often accompany it. The imagery of 'revoir passer les anges' (seeing the angels pass by again) and 'retrouver le goût du fruit, l'odeur de la pluie' (rediscovering the taste of fruit, the smell of rain) evokes a return to innocence and the simple joys of life shared with a loved one.
The chorus emphasizes the significance of small gestures, like holding hands, which symbolize the strength and resilience of their relationship. The metaphor of a dance is used to describe how they support and balance each other, even when everything else seems to be falling apart. This dance represents the give-and-take nature of their relationship, where they let go and hold on to each other in a delicate balance.
Pablo Alborán's verses in Spanish add another layer of depth to the song. He expresses how lost he feels without his partner, comparing his state to poison without their presence. The repetition of 'sin ti yo me pierdo' (without you, I am lost) and 'sin tu aliento en mi cuello' (without your breath on my neck) highlights the physical and emotional dependence he has on his partner. This dual-language approach enriches the song, making it a beautiful blend of French and Spanish cultures, and emphasizing the universality of love and connection.
The song concludes with a reaffirmation of their inseparability, as both artists sing together, their voices merging into one. This unity in their voices symbolizes the unbreakable bond they share, making 'Inséparables' a touching ode to enduring love and the profound connection between two souls.
