Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mi dulce amor donde estaras, necesito de tus besos
Soy un clavel que se muere sin tus chillos,.
soy el dia que en la tarde desfallce
Dulce ilucion donde andaras,.necesito de tu aliento
Dulce ilucion donde andaras,.necesito de tu aliento
Siento morir por la angustia de no verte,.
poco a poco se termina mi existencia
Sin tus besos sin tu aliento alma mia
mi vida es un tormento sin destino
Sin tus besos sin tu aliento alma mia
mi vida es un tormento sin destino
In Gaytan Castro's song "Mi dulce amor," the singer expresses his longing and desperation for the love of his life. The song opens with the repeated question, "Mi dulce amor donde estaras, necesito de tus besos" which translates to "My sweet love, where are you? I need your kisses." The repetition of this question highlights the singer's deep yearning for his loved one.
The singer then compares himself to a dying flower without his loved one's love and affection. He also compares himself to day turning into night without his loved one's presence. These metaphors emphasize how much the singer needs his beloved to survive.
In the second verse, the singer refers to his loved one as a "dulce ilucion," which translates to "sweet illusion." He expresses his anguish at not being able to find his beloved and needing her "aliento" or breath to survive. The singer then reveals that he is slowly dying due to his despair and not seeing his love.
The chorus repeats the opening lines and highlights how the singer's life is meaningless and full of torment without his beloved's kisses and breath. In essence, "Mi dulce amor" is a poignant love song about the importance of meaningful connections and how difficult it can be when those connections are lost.
