Bella

Ni la luna
En tu mundo bella siempre serás
Soldado del amor, una guerra entre tú y yo
Soldado del amor, luchando a muerte por tu piel
Soy un heróe de mentira, un gigante de papel
The lyrics to "Obertura" by Mijares depict a love that is all-consuming and defines one's entire world. The opening lines, "Porque sin ti / Bella Bella / Ni la luna / En tu mundo bella siempre serás" (Because without you / Beauty Beauty / Not even the moon / In your beautiful world, you'll always be), establish the idea that the singer's love interest is the center of his world. He goes on to describe himself as a "soldado del amor" (soldier of love) who is engaged in a war with his beloved. Despite being "herido" (wounded) every night in his quest to win her heart, he persists in his fight, feeling like a "heróe de mentira" (fake hero) and a "gigante de papel" (paper giant).
The overall tone of the lyrics is one of intensity and passion, with the singer pouring his heart out in a bid to win the object of his affection. The war metaphor used throughout the song adds a sense of drama and urgency to the narrative, making it clear that the singer views his quest for love as a battle that must be won at all costs. Despite the obstacles he faces, however, he remains steadfast in his devotion, willing to fight to the bitter end for the one he loves.
