Bajofondo Lyrics

Los rastros de este afán
Como busca el agua la sed
La estela de tu perfume
Me atravesó tu suave vendaval
Rumbo a tu recuerdo seguí
La senda de tu perfume
No hay soledad (soledad)
Que aguante el envión
El impulso antiguo y sutil
De lejos de tu perfume
Perseguiré
Perseguiré
Perseguiré
Me atravesó tu suave vendaval rumbo a tu recuerdo seguí
La senda de tu perfume
No hay soledad (soledad)
Que aguante el envión
El impulso antiguo y sutil
De lejos de tu perfume
De lejos de tu perfume
Regresarás
La senda de tu perfume
Suave vendaval rumbo a tu recuerdo da
Perseguiré los reastros de este afán persegui
Perseguiré los reastros de este afán persegui
Perseguiré los reastros de este afán persegui
La estela de tu perfume
The lyrics to Bajofondo's song "Perfume" speak of a powerful attraction to someone's scent. The singer compares their pursuit of this person's scent to the way water seeks out thirst, following the trail of the one thing they desire most. The scent is described as a type of force, an "antiguo y sutil impulso" (ancient and subtle impetus) that cannot be ignored. The singer is willing to chase after the scent no matter how far away it may lead them, as it is a potent reminder of the person they have been separated from.
The use of the word "persecute" (perseguiré) emphasizes the intensity of the singer's desire for this scent. They are willing to follow the "senda" (path) of the scent wherever it may go, as it draws them closer to the memory of the person they long for. The repetition of the phrase "no hay soledad" (there is no loneliness) emphasizes the power of this attraction, implying that even in solitude the scent provides a sense of comfort and closeness.
Overall, the lyrics to "Perfume" depict the intense emotional experience of being drawn to someone's scent and the desire to pursue it no matter where it may lead. It speaks to the way in which scent can evoke powerful memories and emotions, and the way in which it can connect us to those we love or have lost.
