sideralsidereal / of the stars

Sideral translates to "sidereal" or "of the stars", and it is most commonly paired with the word "espacio" to mean deep, outer space.

In this whimsical track, the singer wants to take her love to "el espacio sideral" to express a romantic feeling that is truly out of this world. It is a poetic, astronomical term that perfectly captures the magical, gravity-defying sensation of falling in love.

This song is a super sweet declaration of love that uses some really fun and imaginative language. The singer wants to be a superhero for the person they love, promising to give them impossible gifts like "el mundo entero" [the whole world] and "las estrellas / En una caja de cristal" [the stars in a crystal box]. They even want to "volar como lo hace Superman" [fly like Superman does] and protect their love from all harm. My favorite line has to be the promise to give them "la vía láctea / En un plato de cereal" [the Milky Way in a bowl of cereal]. It's such a cute and silly way to say "I'd give you everything."

But here's the twist. Despite wanting all these superpowers, the singer admits that being around this person makes them completely weak. They sing, "Me tienes tan debilitada / Todas mis fuerzas se me van si estas aquí" [You have me so weakened / All my strength leaves me if you're here]. Instead of feeling powerful, they feel "tan normal, tan frágil, tan real" [so normal, so fragile, so real]. It turns out, they don't need to be Superman, because their love is the one who lifts them up and makes them feel like they're flying into "espacio sideral" [outer space].
