Reforéstame Lyrics in English by Juan Luis Guerra
Reforéstame is a unique and poetic word that literally means "reforest me." It's a creative use of the verb "reforestar" (to reforest) with the direct object pronoun "me" (me).
In this song, Juan Luis Guerra uses it metaphorically to express a deep desire for his love to be renewed and replanted, like a forest that has been cleared. He's asking for his love to be nurtured, grown, and brought back to life, making it a truly memorable and evocative word.
Juan Luis Guerra's "Reforéstame" is such a beautiful, poetic plea for rekindled love, using nature as a powerful metaphor. He's asking for his past love to be reforested, to be replanted and nurtured back to life. He sings, "Reforéstame el amor de ayer" [Reforest yesterday's love], asking his beloved to sow affection in his heart, give it water, and fertilize it with their warmth.
It's all about growth and renewal. He wants this love to be "Desnúdalo sobre el huerto y hazlo crecer" [Bare it on the garden and make it grow]. The lyrics paint a picture of tenderness, with lines like "si llueve arrópalo en tu pelo" [if it rains, wrap it in your hair] and "Arrúyalo en la arena" [Cradle it in the sand]. He even asks for it to be blessed in the stream and laid in the sky like a lily cloud. It's a sweet, hopeful song about bringing love back to its full, vibrant life.
