Bella (versión 2017)

The song 'Bella (versión 2017)' is a Spanish adaptation from the soundtrack of the live-action film 'Beauty and the Beast,' which retells the classic Disney animated movie. The lyrics provide a glimpse into the life of the protagonist, Belle, as she navigates through her small, provincial town where every day is predictably the same. The song sets the stage for Belle's character, highlighting her distinctiveness and her yearning for something more than the mundane life she leads.

The opening lines paint a picture of a monotonous village where everyone follows a routine, including the baker with his bread. Belle's interactions with the townspeople, including Monsieur Jean and the bookseller, Robert, reveal her love for literature and her desire for adventure. The townsfolk, in turn, find Belle odd for her bookish ways and her lack of interest in the town's social life. This establishes Belle as an outsider who dreams of escaping her provincial life and experiencing the vastness of the world through the stories she reads.

Gaston's appearance in the song introduces a contrasting character to Belle. He is admired by the town for his looks and strength, and he has his sights set on Belle, whom he considers the most beautiful and thus the most suitable wife for himself. However, Gaston's inability to understand Belle's intellectual pursuits and her indifference towards him underscores the theme of the song: Belle's uniqueness sets her apart, and her aspirations are beyond the superficial desires of the townspeople. The song captures the essence of Belle's character - a dreamer and a reader, someone who is 'peculiar' in the eyes of her peers, yet 'Bella' (beautiful) in every sense of the word.
