Niña Pastori invites us into a heartfelt farewell. The repeated plea “Dibújame deprisa” (Draw me quickly) is a race against the clock: the singer feels her time slipping away, yet she is serene because she senses “otra vida llena de luz y calma” (another life full of light and calm). With flamenco-tinged emotion, she wonders where the innocent, the joyful and the silently suffering go when they depart this world. It is both a tribute to those pure souls and a reminder that life is fragile.
At its core, the song blends urgency with peace. The urgency appears in the chorus — time is running out, so capture me now, remember me. The peace comes from her faith, “Tengo con Dios el alma,” and from the imagery of bright light and dancing love. Listeners are left with a bittersweet mix of sorrow and hope: death approaches like a cold scythe, yet tomorrow promises a new beginning. Niña Pastori’s warm vocals turn this meditation on mortality into a comforting embrace, urging us to cherish laughter, music and love before the final curtain falls.
