Estela

Zenet's song 'Estela' paints a vivid and multifaceted portrait of a woman who is both ordinary and extraordinary. The lyrics describe Estela as a 'reina sin corte' (queen without a court) and a 'perfecta vecina' (perfect neighbor), suggesting that she is a figure of great importance and charm in her everyday life. The imagery of her dancing with kitchen gloves on, like a 'gilda,' adds a touch of whimsy and domesticity, blending the mundane with the magical. This duality is a recurring theme throughout the song, as Estela is depicted as both a 'bruja piruja' (mischievous witch) and a 'hada madrina' (fairy godmother), embodying both the mystical and the nurturing aspects of femininity.

The song delves deeper into Estela's character, revealing her love for simple pleasures like seasonal fruits, fresh water, and the 'pollen of the good.' These details highlight her connection to nature and a life unburdened by materialism. Yet, she is also described as someone who 'loses herself from sight,' indicating a desire for escape or perhaps a sense of being lost in her own world. This complexity makes her a captivating muse, someone who inspires the singer to 'name the stars' in her honor and feel grateful for her existence.

Estela is also portrayed as a figure of resistance and love. She 'rises in arms against war,' showing her strength and conviction, while also loving 'as housewives love,' with a deep, nurturing affection. The juxtaposition of her being both a 'Barbie' and 'Rambo' further emphasizes her multifaceted nature. She is the singer's 'best enemy,' a paradoxical term that suggests a relationship filled with both conflict and deep connection. Through these rich and varied descriptions, Zenet captures the essence of Estela as a woman who defies easy categorization, embodying a blend of strength, tenderness, mystery, and everyday beauty.
