Burbujas De Amor Lyrics in English by Juan Luis Guerra 4.40
Pecera literally translates to "fishbowl". It's a charming and somewhat whimsical word that isn't commonly found in song lyrics, making it stand out.
In "Burbujas De Amor," Juan Luis Guerra uses pecera in a wonderfully imaginative way. He sings, "Quisiera ser un pez para tocar mi nariz en tu pecera," expressing a desire to be a fish in his beloved's fishbowl, creating a vivid and intimate image of wanting to be close and share a world with them. This unique metaphor makes the word memorable and enticing.
Juan Luis Guerra's "Burbujas de Amor" is such a sweet, imaginative song about intense longing! Our singer is absolutely smitten, describing his heart as "mutilado de esperanza y de razón" [mutilated by hope and reason] and unable to control itself. He's so impatient, his heart "se desnuda de impaciencia ante tu voz" [strips naked with impatience before your voice].
He wishes he could transform into a fish just to be closer to the person he adores. He wants to "tocar mi nariz en tu pecera" [touch my nose in your fishbowl] and "hacer burbujas de amor por donde quiera" [make bubbles of love everywhere]. He even dreams of spending the night "mojado en ti" [drenched in you], adorning their waist with corals, and making "siluetas de amor bajo la luna" [silhouettes of love under the moon]. It's a beautiful, slightly whimsical picture of a love so strong it makes him want to escape his human form.
