Todo Es Amor
Benny Ibarra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
todo es amor, todo es amor.
Vuelo por tu cuerpo y ohh
todo es amor, todo es amor.
Y descubro con los besos
espacios tan secretos
Llego hasta el fondo de ti
todo es amor, todo es amor.
El mundo va girando, va girando
la gente va jugando, va jugando
y tantos van so'ando, van so'ando
y si no despiertan moriran.
Y yo llevo en tus labios al sol
todo es amor, todo es amor.
Y asi unidos en una luz
somos tu y yo un solo un amor.
ohh, no hay nada mas valioso que nuestro amor,
ohh, la vida duele sin nuestro amor,
ohh, que vas a hacer? vas a morir so'ando?
o despertar amando? decidelo.
No lo pienses mas, vivir es la paz y todo es amor,
no lo pienses mas, vivir es la paz y todo es amor.
Ohh, no hay nada mas valioso que nuestro amor,
ohhh, la vida duele sin nuestro amor,
ohhh, que vas a hacer? vas a morir so'ando?
o despertar amando? decidelo.
Y asi unidos en una luz siempre tu y yo, un solo amor.
The lyrics of Benny Ibarra's song Todo Es Amor speak of the power and beauty of love. The first two lines, "Vuelo en tus ojos al sol todo es amor, todo es amor" (I fly in your eyes to the sun, everything is love, everything is love) convey the feeling of being completely immersed and overwhelmed by love. The next lines, "Vuelo por tu cuerpo y ohh todo es amor, todo es amor" (I fly through your body and ohh everything is love, everything is love) suggest the physical and emotional connection between two people in love. The words "y descubro con los besos espacios tan secretos y nada se compara hasta hoy" (and I discover with kisses such secret spaces and nothing compares until today) hint at the deep intimacy and discovery that come with love.
The song then goes on to describe the world's constant movement and distractions ("el mundo va girando, va girando...") and contrasts it with the purity and simplicity of love. It suggests that without awakening to the power of love, one will "die dreaming" ("y si no despiertan morirán") and asks the listener to choose between living in peace and love or dying in a dream. The chorus repeats the phrase "no lo pienses más, vivir es la paz y todo es amor" (don't think about it anymore, living is peace and everything is love) emphasizing the message that love is the key to happiness and fulfillment.
Overall, Todo Es Amor is a beautiful and poetic ode to love, encouraging listeners to embrace it fully and live in its light.
