Por Tu Amor
Benny Ibarra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
es una breve fruta de tu sensualidad
el hechizo es esa suave agitación
es la breve invitación a divagar.
Noche a noche estoy aquí
enfrentando lo que siento,
noche a noche junto a ti
solo por tu amor
Cada roce me toca el corazón
en una breve fuga de tu sensualidad,
el hechizo es esa suave agitación
es la breve invitación a divagar.
Noche a noche estoy aquí
enfrentando lo que siento
noche a noche junto a ti
quiero acercarme un poco mas,
solo por tu amor,
aunque me sienta perdido,
solo por tu amor
Cada noche me guardo en tus brazos,
llega el sol y se van.
Cada noche guardo en tu regazo
mi sueño, con la luna se va
Noche a noche estoy aquí
enfrentando lo que siento,
noche a noche junto a ti
quiero acercarme un poco mas,
solo por tu amor,
aunque me sienta perdido,
por tu amor quiero ahogarme en tus ojos.
Por tu amor
aunque me sienta perdido,
solo por tu amor
quiero ahogar mis ojos contigo
solo por tu amor.
The lyrics of Benny Ibarra's song Por tu amor express the overwhelming, sensual and almost addictive feeling that the singer has towards the person he loves. He describes every sound, every touch and every breath as a product of his lover's sensuality that he cannot resist. The "hechizo" or spell that his lover casts over him creates a soft agitation that invites him to "divagar" or wander into a realm of emotions that only their love can provide. The singer confesses that every night he faces what he feels and that being near his lover is not enough; he wants to get closer and to drown in their love.
The lyrics portray the raw and deep feelings of love in a very sensual and almost mystical way. It talks about how love is not only about being together but about feeling everything that your partner’s body, mind and soul can offer. The use of metaphors such as "brief fruits of sensuality" and "soft agitation" is a way of describing how love can take hold of you and leave you wanting more. The last few lines, where the singer expresses his desire to drown in his lover's eyes, convey how love can be all-consuming and that he is willing to lose himself completely for the person he loves.
