Amame
Azúcar Moreno Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se que tu me quieres pero nunca volverás
Me diste de tu fuente agua que calmó mi sed
Luego en un desierto sin querer lo encontré
Ámame, por favor tu ámame
Ámame, por favor tu ámame
Quítame la luz del sol
Pero no me quites la locura por tu amor
Me quemo con el fuego que dejaste en mi piel
Me estoy volviendo loca desde aquel amanecer
Ámame, por favor tu ámame
Ámame, por favor tu ámame
Que te llevo muy dentro
Y no puedo vivir
Si me faltan tus besos
Que prefiero morir a tenerte tan lejos
Ámame, por favor tu ámame
Ámame, por favor tu ámame
Eres como el aire que no sabe a donde va
Se que tu me quieres pero nunca volverás
Me diste de tu fuente agua que calmó mi sed
Luego en un desierto sin querer lo encontré
Ámame, por favor tu ámame
Ámame, por favor tu ámame
Quítame la luna
Quítame la luz del sol
Pero no me quites la locura por tu amor
Me quemo con el fuego que dejaste en mi piel
Me estoy volviendo loca desde aquel amanecer
Ámame, por favor tu ámame
Ámame, por favor tu ámame
Que te llevo muy dentro
Y no puedo vivir
Si me faltan tus besos
Que prefiero morir a tenerte tan lejos
The lyrics of Azúcar Moreno's song "Amame" convey a deep sense of yearning and longing for a love that seems unattainable and fleeting. The opening lines, "Eres como el aire que no sabe a donde va, Se que tu me quieres pero nunca volverás" depict a feeling of uncertainty and a sense of inevitability that the love being sought may never be fully realized. The comparison to air that doesn't know where it's going suggests a lack of control in the situation, highlighting the unpredictability of love.
The next verses, "Me diste de tu fuente agua que calmó mi sed, Luego en un desierto sin querer lo encontré" further explore the theme of receiving love that initially fulfills a deep need, only to later find oneself in a metaphorical desert without it. This imagery of water in the desert symbolizes the contrast between abundance and scarcity, highlighting the emotional rollercoaster of love experienced by the singer.
The chorus, with the plea "Ámame, por favor tu ámame," is a desperate cry for affection and validation from the elusive love interest. The repetition of this plea emphasizes the intensity of the desire to be loved and accepted, despite the challenges and uncertainties that may come with it. The lines "Quítame la luna, Quítame la luz del sol, Pero no me quites la locura por tu amor" express a willingness to sacrifice everything, even the fundamental elements of nature, in order to hold onto the madness of love that consumes the singer.
The repeated motif of being unable to live without the beloved's presence, "Que te llevo muy dentro, Y no puedo vivir, Si me faltan tus besos, Que prefiero morir a tenerte tan lejos," encapsulates the depth of the emotional attachment and the overwhelming impact that this love has on the singer. The intense emotions and longing expressed throughout the song ultimately paint a vivid picture of the relentless pursuit of love, even in the face of potential heartbreak and uncertainty.
