El amor después del amor.
Fito Páez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se parezca a este rayo de sol
Y ahora que busqué
Y ahora que encontré
El perfume que lleva al dolor
En la esencia de las almas
En la ausencia del dolor
Ahora sé que ya no puedo
Me hice fuerte ahí
Donde nunca vi
Nadie puede decirme quién soy
Yo lo sé muy bien, pero te aprendí a querer
El perfume que lleva al dolor
En la esencia de las almas
Dice toda religión
Para mí que es el amor
Después del amor
In Fito Páez's song El amor después del amor, the lyrics describe the feeling of finding true love after a period of searching and pain. The first verse compares this feeling to a ray of sunlight, suggesting that it is a rare and beautiful occurrence. The singer reflects on his journey of looking for love and finally finding it, represented by the "perfume that leads to pain" - the trials and tribulations of the search. The second verse speaks to the idea of self-discovery and growth, as the singer becomes stronger in a place where he was once lost. He also acknowledges that he has learned to love the person he is with, despite the pain that can come with it.
The chorus brings together the themes of love and religion, suggesting that for the singer, love is the most important thing in his life, surpassing even religious beliefs. The repetition of the phrase "Después del amor" (After love) reinforces the idea that finding true love is a transformative experience, and that everything that comes after it is better and more meaningful.
Overall, the song speaks to the universal human experience of searching for love and finding it, and the profound impact it can have on a person's life.
