Contigo

The song 'Contigo' by Elefante is a heartfelt expression of love and devotion. The lyrics speak to the deep connection and desire for closeness between two people. The opening lines, where the singer offers the left side of his chest, symbolize offering one's heart, as the heart is slightly to the left in the human body. This gesture signifies a willingness to give the most intimate and vulnerable part of oneself to another.

As the song progresses, the lyrics become an exchange of precious gifts that are not material but emotional and spiritual. The 'light of the moon,' 'past,' 'fortune,' and 'future' are metaphors for the totality of the singer's life and experiences, which he is willing to share with his beloved. The repeated chorus emphasizes that life, which is unique and fleeting, feels richer and more meaningful with the person he loves. The phrase 'Contigo sabe mejor,' which translates to 'With you, it tastes better,' suggests that every experience is enhanced when shared with the loved one.

The latter part of the song continues with the theme of exchange, asking for the 'universe of your bed' and offering his entire life in return. The request for 'some of your dawns' implies a desire to be part of the beloved's life at the most intimate moments, from night until morning. The song concludes with a plea for hope, endless nights, a stolen kiss, and a song, all of which are romantic gestures that signify a deep longing for a shared life full of love and passion.
