Biography:

1993-2000: The group Amaral was created on January 1st 1997 with Eva Amaral, main vocalist and composer, and Juan Aguirre, guitarist and composer, as members. The name of the group is Eva's surname, and it was chosen by Juan.

Their story started at the beginning of the 90's, when Eva and Juan met at a recording studio in the city of Zaragoza. At the time, Eva was playing with a group called Bandera Blanca (White Flag) and Juan, with his group Días de vino y rosas (Days of Wine and Roses) collaborated with Eva's on one song. A close relationship was immediately born between them. In 1997 they moved from Zaragoza to Madrid and signed with EMI/Virgin. On May 5th 1998, they released their eponymous first album, Amaral, produced by Pancho Varona. They sold around 70,000 copies, in a country with 40 million inhabitants.

2000-2002
In the year 2000, after a tour to present their first album, Amaral went to London to record their second album, called Una pequeña parte del mundo (A Little Part of the World), produced by Cameron Jenkins. It was a more mature record which contained 13 songs. Twelve of them were composed by the group and the thirteenth one was a version of a song by the Spanish singer Cecilia.

2002-2004
Two years later, Amaral entered the studio again with the same producer and recorded their third album, called Estrella de mar (Starfish). It was named Best National Album in 2002. They won several awards that year, including an MTV Europe Award to best Spanish artist, and five Spanish music awards. They also went international with this version, when their album was released under a new version in America in 2003. They sold 900,000 copies.

In 2004, they were supposed to record an album and play with Bob Dylan when he visited Spain, but Juan suffered a wrist injury, so they had to delay the recording and Eva sang alone with Dylan. Finally in November of that year, Eva and Juan recorded their fourth album Pájaros en la cabeza (“Birds in the Head”, a Spanish expression meaning “dreamer”), again with Cameron Perkins. On March 14th 2004 they released it. It contained 14 songs, in a pop and rock style. They toured all over Spain until October, and later left to play in Mexico and Argentina. At the same time they recorded a concert for a DVD called El comienzo del Big Bang (The Beginning of the Big Bang). It was the best selling album in Spain in 2005, and sold about 600,000 copies worldwide.

In May 2008, they released their fifth studio album named Gato negro.Dragón rojo ("Black cat, red dragon"). This is the first album in which Juan sings, in the track Es sólo una canción.

Eva has also sung with Moby.

In 2019 they released an album "Salto Al Color." This was followed by the European tour "Giro Salto Al Color," which completed successfully in spite of many Covid-related postponements.

Moriría por vos
Amaral Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Como Nicolas Cage en Living las Vegas
Veo caer la nieve en la hierba
Un Robinson en una isla desierta
Como Nicolas Cage en Living las Vegas
Soy el invierno contra tu primavera
Un Dorian Gray sin pasado ni patria ni bandera

Será tu voz, será el licor

Serán las luces de esta habitación
Será el poder de una canción
Pero esta noche moriría por vos
Como Nicolas Cage en Living las Vegas
No tengo planes más allá de esta cena
Es un misterio hacia dónde la noche nos lleva
Como Nicolas Cage en Living las Vegas
Vamos, mi niño, a perder la cabeza
Como si fuera nuestro último día en la Tierra

Será tu voz, será el licor
Serán las luces de esta habitación
Será que suena Marquee Moon
Pero esta noche moriría por vos
Será el champagne, será el color de tus ojos verdes
De ciencia ficción
La ultima cena para los dos
Pero esta noche moriría por vos

Será tu voz, será el licor
Serán las luces de esta habitación
Será el poder de una canción
Pero esta noche moriría por vos
Será el champagne, será el color de tus ojos verdes
De ciencia ficción

La ultima cena para los dos
Pero esta noche moriría por vos

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Amaral's song "Moriría por vos" seem to be inspired by Nicolas Cage's character in the film "Leaving Las Vegas". The first line, "Como Nicolas Cage en Living las Vegas" (Like Nicolas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas), sets the scene for the rest of the song. The second line, "Veo caer la nieve en la hierba" (I see the snow falling on the grass), creates a sense of coldness and detachment, which is echoed in later verses. The singer of the song is portrayed as a man without a past or a country ("Un Dorian Gray sin pasado ni patria ni bandera"), adrift and living only in the moment.

The chorus conveys the singer's intense feelings for the person he is with, expressed through various sensory experiences ("Será tu voz, será el licor..."). He is willing to die for them, as if it were their last day on Earth ("Pero esta noche moriría por vos"). The use of the conditional tense ("Será") adds a sense of uncertainty and possibility, as if the singer is not quite sure why he feels the way he does.

Overall, the song creates a vivid picture of a moment in time, filled with passion and intensity, but also with a sense of transience and fragility.
