Estrella Del Mar

Amaral's 'Estrella Del Mar' is a poetic exploration of love, using the metaphor of the sea to convey the depth and complexity of romantic emotions. The song's title, which translates to 'Starfish,' immediately sets the tone for a journey through a vast, emotional ocean. The lyrics describe the experience of being in love as akin to navigating a sea of light and silence, suggesting both the beauty and the profound stillness that love can bring.

The recurring imagery of the sea serves as a powerful metaphor for the emotional landscape the singer traverses. Phrases like 'beber de tu boca es como andar encima de un mar de luz y silencio' (drinking from your mouth is like walking on a sea of light and silence) and 'mirarte a los ojos es nadar en un mar más frío que el hielo' (looking into your eyes is like swimming in a sea colder than ice) highlight the dual nature of love—its warmth and its potential to be chillingly intense. The sea, a symbol of both life and mystery, encapsulates the unpredictable and often overwhelming nature of romantic relationships.

The song also touches on themes of nostalgia and longing. The mention of being born by the sea and the reference to a 'gris del mes de febrero' (gray day in February) evoke a sense of melancholy and a longing for a simpler, more innocent time. The embrace described in the lyrics symbolizes a moment of connection and comfort amidst the vast, often tumultuous sea of emotions. Amaral's evocative language and haunting melodies create a dreamlike atmosphere, inviting listeners to lose themselves in the depths of their own emotional seas.
