Anima
Alfonso Espriella Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Noche de estrellas en ti
Todo es amor aquí adentro
No hay comienzo ni fin.
Quiero beberte muy lento
Hasta embriagarme de ti
Hasta volver al silencio
Hasta olvidarme de mi.
Voy volando en ti
Disolviendo el tiempo
En tus manos
Y la lluvia besa nuestra soledad
Borra la frontera con la soledad
Sueltate.
Deja que volemos no hay que regresar,
A este lugar.
The lyrics to Alfonso Espriella's song Anima describe a transcendent and transcultural experience between two lovers. "Sobrevolando tu cielo" means "flying over your sky," indicating that the singer is exploring the depths of their lover's inner world. The "noche de estrellas" or "night of stars" represents the dreamscape that they are both inhabiting in this close encounter. Despite being in the same place physically, they seem to be living in their own reality, where "Todo es amor aquí adentro" or "Everything is love inside here." There is no "comienzo ni fin" or "beginning or end," as their experience is transcending all limitations of time and space.
The singer continues to express their desire to become one with their lover, to "beberte muy lento" or "drink you very slowly" until they become intoxicated with the other person. This is not just a physical experience, but a spiritual one, as the singer wants to "volver al silencio" or "return to the silence" and forget about their own identity in the process. The chorus is a call to surrender to this transcendent experience, to "disolver el tiempo" or "dissolve time" in each other's hands and let the rain wash away all borders and boundaries. They are free to fly wherever they want to "sin regresar a este lugar" or "without returning to this place."
Overall, the song Anima is a beautiful meditation on love, intimacy, and transcendence. It's an invitation to explore the depths of our own being and connect with another person in a way that transcends all limitations.
