De Repente

Soraya's song 'De Repente' is a poetic exploration of the feelings that arise when one encounters a new love that is both unexpected and overwhelming. The lyrics describe the protagonist's experience of being captivated by someone's gaze and touch, suggesting a deep connection that is both exciting and a little frightening. The repeated phrase 'De repente en mi vida' which translates to 'Suddenly in my life,' emphasizes the abrupt and transformative impact of this new love.

The song's verses convey a sense of surrender to these new emotions, as the protagonist acknowledges the futility of resistance. The mention of 'mil ojos' (a thousand eyes) and 'mil palabras' (a thousand words) indicates an abundance of attention and promises from others, but it is only the subject of the song whose eyes and words have left a lasting impression. This selective resonance suggests a unique and profound bond that stands out among all others.

The emotional journey in 'De Repente' is one of vulnerability and courage. The protagonist is aware of the risks of opening up to someone new, as indicated by the lines 'Si te dejo entrar, estaré equivocada' (If I let you in, I will be wrong) and 'Quizás será una tontería, no tengo temor' (Maybe it will be foolish, I have no fear). Despite past experiences and the possibility of getting hurt, there is a deliberate choice to embrace this love, to 'conservar el asombro hasta el final' (preserve the wonder until the end). Soraya captures the essence of the leap of faith that is required when one decides to love again, despite the uncertainties that come with it.
