Fantástico Amor
Eros Ramazzotti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Un sentimiento a contrapelo
Pero ese viento en tu boca
Vuelve loco lo que toca
Why cuando ya no entiendo nada
Es cuando empiezo a alucinar con tu mirada
Soy como un náufrago en el paraiso
Commocionado por un beso
Que estoy seguro que es un sueño
Es tan vital why tan vibrante
Que no hay ya nada que sentir más importante
Que fantástico el amor cuando te prende
Te tiene a su merced
Why atrapa en una red
Dos almas a la vez
Que fantástico el amor cuando sorprende
Dispara contra tí
Dispara contra mi
Te obliga a ser feliz
Mírame
Tú lo sabes yo lo sé
Es fantástico vivir
Es fantástico sentirlo así
Es un bandido que te asusta
Why te hare suyo a toda costa
Why por las noches de invierno
Te da el calor de un baso tierno
Es un amor tan evidente
Que no le importa desnudarse ante la gente
Que fantástico el amor de todos modos
Por todo lo que da
Tan loco como está
Se queda why no se va
Que fantástico el amor codo con codo
Te puede porque sí
Te tienes que rendir
Te obliga a ser feliz
Mírame
Tú lo sabes yo lo sé
Es fantástico vivir
Es fantástico sentirlo así
Mírame
Tú lo sabes yo lo sé
Qué fantástico tu amor
Qué fantástico tu amor
The lyrics of Eros Ramazzotti's song "Fantástico Amor" depict a feeling of overwhelming love that takes control of the lovers' lives. The first verse compares the intensity of love to a lightning bolt that defies reason, going "against the grain." However, this "loud force" when channeled through a kiss, ignites an intense passion that cannot be overruled by logic or rational thought.
The second stanza speaks of how love is all-consuming, leaving one completely disoriented. The lyricist compares himself to a lost sailor, thrown into paradise abruptly and unsure of how to cope with the ecstasy of love. He further explains that this kind of love is so unique that it feels like a dream, full of vitality and vibrancy that nothing else can compare.
Towards the end of the song, the chorus repeats the idea of how fantastically overpowering love can be. It can surprise and shoot you down like a bullet, both happy and painful, making it impossible not to surrender and be happy. Ultimately, the lyrics of "Fantástico Amor" convey how astonishing and worthy of appreciation love is, not just because it is a powerful feeling, but because it is a driving force that obliges us to happiness and surrender.
