Por Debajo Del Agua

The song 'Por Debajo Del Agua' by Banda del Sol delves into the theme of a clandestine love affair. The title itself, which translates to 'Underwater,' metaphorically represents the hidden nature of the relationship. The lyrics speak of a love that is kept secret from the world, known only to the two lovers and the celestial bodies that watch over them in silence. The mention of the envious sun and moon suggests that their love is so profound that even the heavens are jealous of their connection.

The repeated lines about the lovers wanting each other 'underwater' emphasize the depth and intensity of their emotions, which they must keep submerged beneath the surface of their public lives. The song also touches on societal judgment, with the lyrics acknowledging that people gossip about their love ('la gente murmura'). However, the lovers are indifferent to the opinions of others, asserting that their love is their own business ('Que critiquen, que digan, Que les ha de importar!').

The final verses reveal a twist: both lovers are married to other people, which adds a layer of complexity and taboo to their relationship. The secrecy is not just a choice but a necessity, as their love is not only socially frowned upon but also adulterous. The song captures the bittersweet reality of their situation, where moments of passion must be stolen 'a la luz de la luna' (in the moonlight) and 'a los rayos del sol' (in the sunlight), yet always hidden from the public eye.
