3. Tocar las Estrellas

On “Tocar Las Estrellas,” Razteria sings a hymn full of longing, admiration, and self-discovery. The song poetically speaks about the unreachable beauty of the stars versus the unreachable presence of a loved one. From the very first verse, the lyrics instigate a sense of awe and wonder as Razteria sounds off with a few lines about encountering a person who, quite literally, does awaken something profound inside her, something that “no quiere extinguirse”.

The chorus is the most striking part, likening the person being admired to the mystery of the stars’ beauty. Razteria here puts out a very strong sense of thankfulness toward life for just being there to see that beauty, either in the stars or in the person who inspired her. The phrase “Aunque de lejos” repeats, saying a lot about distance and maybe unattainability, but the admiration and connection stay there.

With this theme, Razteria reflects on how this person marked her forever and continuously inspires her, even if only in dreams, on the second verse. The lyrics are filled with hope and determination-the will to “reach the stars” literally and metaphorically.

In the last verse, Razteria recognizes the downturns of life-falling and getting wounded, facing an “abismo de olvidos” (an abyss of forgetfulness)-yet at the same time makes an assertion of gaining strength and believing that she can get through the impossible. Recurring imagery of reaching to the stars becomes a very salient metaphor toward striving to dreams and love through its feeling of remoteness.
