Dos Solitarios
Alan Revello
The Silent Symphony of Two Solitary Souls
In "Dos Solitarios," Alan Revello crafts a poignant narrative about two individuals who find solace and freedom in each other's company. The song begins by describing how these two "libertades" or freedoms meet, suggesting that their union is either a stroke of fate or a result of their shared loneliness. The imagery of them flying together like birds symbolizes their newfound liberation and the joy of companionship, as they escape their isolated pasts.
The song delves into the theme of love that thrives in silence, away from societal scrutiny. Revello emphasizes that these "dos solitarios enamorados" or two solitary lovers, do not need to proclaim their love to the world. Their relationship is intimate and self-sufficient, existing harmoniously with the universe. This notion of love being a private, sacred bond is reinforced by the idea that they do not require external validation or "comentarios buenos"—good comments—from others.
As the song progresses, it highlights the transformative power of love. The lovers merge their individual freedoms, creating a unified "corazón" or heart. They distance themselves from the "maldito sistema," or cursed system, suggesting a rejection of societal norms and expectations. This act of rebellion strengthens their familial bond, as their love grows to include a family, symbolized by "dos más dos"—two plus two. Revello's lyrics celebrate the beauty of a love that is both liberating and grounding, a love that defies convention and flourishes in its own quiet strength.
