Review

Babasonicos is an Argentine band renowned for their eclectic style and evocative lyrics. This song "Risa" eas eleased in 2004 and make part of the album "Anoche, the song is a happy flirtation story with a catchy rhythm and poetic verses

Comparisons and Symbolic Language:

Babasónicos spreads a feeling of positive vibes and laughter, painting a picture of intrigue and attraction between two strangers that just met. You can notice the use of symbolic language and some cultural references tppp add depth to the narrative and that way, inviting listeners to immerse in the story.

Repetition:

The repetition of phrases like "me gustas tanto" (I like you so much) underscores the intensity of the singer's feelings of happiness and joy, emphasizing the magnetic pull of the object of their affection.

Similes and Metaphors:

Lines like "Con ese glamour celestial" (With that celestial glamour) describes the object of desire to something otherworldly, talking about how the singer percieves the loved one.

Cultural References:

References like "vamos a fumar un porro ahi" meaning (let's smoke a joint overthere) and the mention of the color of her lipstick (amo tus labios color carmín) suggest the couple had moments of intimacy and excitement, drawing listeners into the world of the song's protagonists.

Wordplay and Figurative Language:

The line "Me gusta verte reír" (I like seeing you laugh) employs simple yet powerful language, maybe to express joy and pleasure derived from the simple act of laughter and being in love.

Idiomatic Expressions:

"Me gustas tanto que no sé por dónde voy" (I like you so much that I don't know where I'm going) Is a phrase that means an overwhelming nature of infatuation and love, that leads to confusion due to the overwhelming emotions that accompany newfound attraction.

Grammar Structure:

The use of verbs like "quisiera aprenderme tu nombre" (I would like to memorize your name) and "no sé por donde voy" (I don't know where i'm going) reflects the singer's uncertainty and longin, probably for a platonic lover, adding depth to the song's emotions.

"Risa"captures the thrill of infatuation and the intoxicating power of platonic love, happiness and laughter, inviting listeners to get lost in the whirlwind of emotions that accompany love at first sight unpredictable journey.
