Soñé

The song 'Soñé' by the Mexican rock band Zoé is a poetic exploration of longing and desire, set against the backdrop of a deep emotional connection. The lyrics convey a sense of yearning for a moment that has passed, a moment that the narrator wishes to relive. The repeated phrase 'Solo para revivir' (Just to relive) emphasizes the desire to experience once again the intense feelings associated with being close to the person they love, particularly the act of melting away while gazing into their 'ojos negros' (black eyes).

The chorus of the song introduces a metaphor of wanting to become air, so that the object of the narrator's affection could breathe them in forever, signifying a wish for an eternal and inextricable bond. This line, 'Tengo ganas de ser aire / Y me respires para siempre' (I want to be air / And you breathe me forever), suggests a deep-seated need for closeness and a fear of loss or separation. The sentiment of having nothing to lose implies a readiness to surrender completely to this love.

Throughout the song, the narrator is consumed by thoughts of their beloved, associating them with the brightness of the sun and a corner of the sky, as well as the echo of the sea reflected in their eyes. These natural elements serve to elevate the person to an almost ethereal level, intertwining their essence with the beauty and vastness of the universe. The repetition of 'Todo el tiempo estoy pensando en ti' (All the time I am thinking of you) reinforces the constant presence of this person in the narrator's mind. The song concludes with a dreamlike state, where the narrator confesses to dreaming of their beloved, suggesting that even in sleep, their thoughts are dominated by this profound connection.
