Que Gran Amor
Emilio José Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Qué gran amor, el que se tuvo una vez en la vida
Qué bello amor, el que en los años primeros nació
El que brotó, sin consejo ni fuerzas extrañas
Como el lirio que nace en las aguas, transparentes al beso del sol

El que selló, unas vidas que unidas siguieron
Al compás de esa senda de fuego
Que ni el mundo ni el tiempo extinguió

Alguna vez he pensado si hallar en mi senda
El firme amor que por siempre mi vida soñé
Y pienso en ti cuando un día me diste tu mano
Cuando creí que la vida es fracaso y dolor

Y nace en mí al quererte en mis noches sin sueños
La esperanza de ese amor eterno
Si me acoge tu gran corazón

Y nace en mí





Y pienso en ti

Overall Meaning

The song "Que Gran Amor" by Emilio José is an ode to a great and beautiful love that once existed in the past. The first stanza of the song reflects on the purity and innocence of a love that was born without any external influences or outside forces, much like a lily that grows in clear water under the sun's kiss. The love that the songwriter speaks of is one that has endured over time and has joined two lives together, despite any obstacles that may have come their way.


The second stanza speaks to the search for a similar kind of love in the present day. The songwriter wonders if they will ever find a love that is as strong and unyielding as the one they speak of in the past. However, they find hope and comfort in the memory of a previous love when they remember the moment when their loved one took their hand and showed them that life is not all failure and pain. The final line of the song, "Y pienso en ti" (And I think of you), is an acknowledgement that the memory of this great love will always be with them, even if they never find it again.


Overall, "Que Gran Amor" is a poignant reflection on the beauty and strength of true love, and the hope that it can bring to even the darkest moments in life.
