La Pava

Colmillo Norteño's song "La Pava" is a heartfelt serenade that uses the metaphor of a turkey (pavo) and a hen (pava) to express deep romantic feelings. The song opens with the singer's desire to be in a garden of flowers, a symbol of beauty and tranquility, where he can live with his beloved and shower her with love. This idyllic setting sets the tone for the romantic and somewhat whimsical narrative that follows.

The lyrics then introduce a poignant story of a hen crying day and night because her handsome turkey does not love her. This tale of unrequited love serves as a metaphor for the singer's own feelings, as he wishes to be the turkey who is in love with the hen, longing to be by her side and share his life with her. The repetition of the desire to be the "pavo enamorado" (the enamored turkey) underscores the depth of his affection and his yearning for reciprocation.

As the song progresses, the singer addresses the hen directly, calling her beautiful and expressing his wish for her to be the owner of his love. The repeated invitation for the hen to come to him and share in his joy highlights the singer's hope and optimism for a mutual and fulfilling relationship. The final verse brings a sense of unity and family, as the turkey and hen are now together, singing to their little ones, symbolizing a happy and complete love story. This song, with its simple yet evocative lyrics, captures the essence of romantic longing and the joy of being united with a loved one.
