Ibas Caminando

In 'Ibas Caminando,' Zion & Lennox delve into the tantalizing world of dreams and desire. The song narrates an intense, almost surreal encounter on the dance floor, where the protagonist is captivated by a woman. The lyrics describe a moment of connection, where touching and kissing seem almost too good to be true. This dream-like state is abruptly interrupted when the protagonist wakes up, realizing it was all a figment of his imagination. The recurring line, 'Y luego desperté' (And then I woke up), underscores the fleeting nature of this passionate encounter, highlighting the gap between dreams and reality.

The song's second verse deepens the sense of longing and frustration. The protagonist laments waking up from such a vivid dream, expressing a wish for dreams to be eternal. He feels 'enfermo' (sick) with desire, tormented by the tenderness of the woman's kisses and caresses. This verse captures the emotional turmoil of wanting something so intensely that it affects one's waking life. The protagonist's struggle is palpable as he wishes to return to sleep, where he can continue to experience the dream.

The bridge of the song adds a layer of desperation and determination. The protagonist addresses the 'señor de los sueños' (lord of dreams), pleading not to be separated from the woman's lips. He vows to fight with 'empeño' (determination) to make his dream a reality. This part of the song highlights the universal human experience of yearning for something just out of reach and the lengths one might go to achieve it. Zion & Lennox's 'Ibas Caminando' is a poignant exploration of desire, dreams, and the often painful intersection between the two.
