Susúrrame is a beautiful command that combines the verb susurrar (to whisper) with the pronoun me (to me). It is a highly evocative, romantic word that is incredibly fun to pronounce due to the rolling 'rr' sound.
In the song, Gloria Estefan sings the poetic oxymoron, "Susúrrame en tu silencio" (Whisper to me in your silence). She uses this clever contradiction to express that even without spoken words, her partner's quiet presence communicates deeply with her heart.
Gloria Estefan's "Hoy" is a beautiful song about finally reuniting with a loved one after being apart. The singer spends most of the song listing all the things she carries with her that are connected to this person. She has the pain of their separation "marcado en el pecho" (marked on my chest), but also a faith that "me cura" (heals me) ever since she met them. This person is her everything, her guide, her "norte y mi sur" (my north and my south).
The chorus is where all that waiting pays off. It's a simple, happy declaration: "Hoy voy a verte de nuevo" (Today I'm going to see you again). The plan for the reunion is so sweet and intimate. She wants to "envolverme en tu ropa" (wrap myself in your clothes) and celebrate their love with a party, so that it can "crezca más" (grow more). It's a song filled with hope and the pure joy of coming back to the person who feels like home.
