Frenar Enero Lyrics in English by Vanesa Martín
Antojos translates to "cravings" or "whims." While it can refer to food cravings, it often implies a strong, sometimes capricious, desire for something.
In this song, the artist sings, "Que me queden algunos antojos" (May I still have some cravings). This suggests a desire to maintain a sense of longing, passion, and perhaps even a playful unpredictability in a relationship, rather than becoming completely complacent. It's a nuanced word that adds depth to the romantic sentiment.
Vanesa Martín's "Frenar Enero" is a beautiful song about finding a love that can slow down time and make life feel more present. The lyrics open with the desire for "Alguien que sepa frenar enero" [Someone who knows how to stop January], hinting at a longing for a love that can temper the rush of life and the coldness of winter. She describes a lover who arrives demanding blankets and intertwining among people who find calm in loving.
She's running late for a date, worried about seeming strange, but she wants to find herself in her lover's eyes. She hopes he'll win her over and let her get lost, leaving her with desires and the taste of thinking about him. She wants a love that makes her grow, that talks about life and makes her feel like she was born to live it with him. The imagery of him touching her face and her 'dying' each time destiny scratches him is incredibly powerful, showing a deep, almost visceral connection. It's a song about wanting a love that is both a comfort and an all-consuming passion.
