Supervielle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 song "Perfume" by Supervielle is a love letter transformed into music, where the singer sings about pursuing the traces of his passion for someone. The opening lines "Perseguiré los rastros de este afán como busca el agua la sed La estela de tu perfume" translates to "I will pursue the traces of this longing like water seeking thirst The trail of your perfume". This reveals how the singer is relentlessly searching for the remnants of this fervor in the same way that water is driven towards slaking its thirst. The fragrance of the person he loves permeates his mind and soul leading him to follow its trace in pursuit of the person who wears it.
The next lines, "Me atravesó tu suave vendaval rumbo a tu recuerdo seguí La senda de tu perfume" translates to "I was pierced by your gentle wind I followed the path of your memory The trail of your perfume". This shows how helpless the singer is in the face of his lover's fragrance and the memories it evokes. Even though they may be apart or even if the love affair has ended, the scent of the person is strong enough to lead the singer back to thoughts of them.
In the chorus section, the lyrics, "No hay soledad (soledad) Que aguante el envión El impulso antiguo y sutil De lejos de tu perfume Perseguiré" translates to "There is no loneliness (loneliness) That can withstand the ancient, subtle impulse Of your perfume from afar I will pursue." Here, the singer affirms that even though his beloved may be far away, the memory of the scent still lingers and can be felt. He vows to follow this fragrance as it guides him towards his lover and directs him to never forget the passion he feels.
Overall, Supervielle's "Perfume" is a moving song that displays the power of love and the senses it evokes. The artist uses lyrics to create a vivid image of how scent influences and affects our emotions, memories, and desires. The song is a perfect example of how music can emotionally engage listeners and convey meanings that cannot be described through mere words.
