A Colors Show

In 'A Colors Show,' NENA crafts a heartfelt narrative that revolves around protection, love, and the spiritual connection between two individuals. The song opens with vivid imagery of a girl walking down the street, her long black hair flowing, and the challenges she faces, symbolized by 'tigres' or tigers that block her path. This metaphorical representation of obstacles and dangers sets the stage for the protective and caring tone that permeates the song.

The recurring plea to the heavens for protection from 'malos ojos' or evil eyes underscores a deep concern for the girl's well-being. NENA's use of celestial imagery, such as stars and angels, adds a spiritual dimension to the song, suggesting that divine forces are being called upon to guide and safeguard the girl. The repeated lines 'Los angelitos te mando' (I send you little angels) and 'Le pido al cielo' (I ask the heavens) emphasize this protective prayer, creating a sense of a guardian watching over a loved one.

The song also delves into themes of loss and longing. The narrator dreams of the girl and wakes up to a harsh reality where she is in danger. The lines 'Te veo en mis sueños' (I see you in my dreams) and 'Te quieren matar' (They want to kill you) reflect a deep-seated fear and a sense of helplessness. Despite this, there is a persistent hope and a belief that the girl is always by the narrator's side, even if she has left too soon. This blend of spiritual protection, love, and the pain of separation creates a poignant and emotionally rich narrative that resonates deeply with listeners.
