Felina translates to "feline," meaning related to cats. It's an interesting and somewhat unexpected adjective to describe a gaze.
In the song, the lyrics mention "la misma mirada felina" (the same feline gaze). This suggests a look that is captivating, mysterious, perhaps a bit wild or alluring, much like the eyes of a cat. It adds a unique and evocative image to the description of the person's eyes.
Have you ever felt like fate keeps bringing you back to someone, no matter how much time passes? That's exactly what Amaral explores in "Cómo Hablar." It's a song about a powerful, almost fated connection that endures through years and changes. The singer imagines, "Si volviera a nacer, si empezara de nuevo / Volvería a buscarte en mi nave del tiempo" [If I were born again, if I started over / I would look for you again in my time machine], suggesting this person is their destiny.
Even after saying goodbye and years passing, they meet again, in "Otro paisa, otra ciudad, otra vida / Pero la misma mirada felina" [Another country, another city, another life / But the same feline gaze]. This reunion brings up a whirlwind of intense emotions, from wanting to "mataría" [kill you] to wanting to "comer" [eat you] – a pretty blunt way to say you're overwhelmed! The core of the song is about being so completely consumed by someone that you struggle to find the words to express it: "Cómo hablar si cada parte de mi mente es tuya" [How to speak if every part of my mind is yours] and "Tú que llegaste por casualidad, cómo hablar" [You who arrived by chance, how to speak]. It's a beautiful, chaotic look at how love can completely take over your thoughts and make you speechless.
