Samurai
David DeMaría Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ay...
Cuanto querer
Cabe en mi corazón
Ay...
Me hace sufrir
Case me mata
Y si no mata hiere...
Va...

Sin decirme
En la casa de la pasión
Sale...
Cuando bien quiere
Trae una plaga
Y me halaga la piel
Creced, luz de la luna
Para iluminar las tinieblas
Hondas de la pasión
Yo quiso luchar
Contra el poder del amor
Se Cae en los pies del vencedor
Para ser el servidor
De un samurai
Hoy estoy tan feliz!

Dicen que el amor
Atrae...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to David DeMaría's song Samurai describe the singer's struggle with love. The first stanza speaks to the intensity of the love the singer feels, stating that it is enough to fill their heart but also causes them pain. The second stanza goes on to describe love as a force that can be unpredictable and even dangerous, likening it to a plague that brings both pleasure and pain. The chorus brings in the lyrics that give the song its title, "grow, moonlight, to illuminate the depths of passion," which seems to suggest that the singer wants clarity and enlightenment in their feelings.

The third stanza is where the metaphor of the samurai comes in. The singer says that they wanted to fight against the power of love, but ultimately they fell to the feet of the conqueror (love) and became its servant. The final lines express happiness with the situation, saying that love attracts and they are content with being submissive to it.
