Legendary salsa group started playing traditional folklore in the 1960s, later turning to tropical style. As the band was getting involved in the local scene, a growing number of followers made them one of the most popular acts all over the country. Led by singer Gustavo Aguado, the 22-piece act had the opportunity to go beyond Venezuelan frontiers while releasing its music in the U.S. and Europe in the late '90s.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y se la pasan llorando desconsolaos algo tendrá el amor que siguen ahí pegaos
me pego yo, te pegas tu, se pegan todos y eso que nadie está obligao
Lleva limón y lleva azúcar y lleva golpe pa los laos pa que le toque en esta vida estar enamorao?
Gustavo: pero yo te cuento un cuento, de cuando estaba chiquitico que me hablaban del amor
ahí todo se veia bonito pero después que me enamore,
Dispara!
Lleva limón y lleva azúcar y lleva golpe pa los laos pa que le toque en esta vida estar enamorao?
Y se la pasan llorando desconsolaos algo tendrá el amor que siguen ahí pegaos
me pego yo, te pegas tu, se pegan todos y eso que nadie está obligao
Ponte pa el lao que es
Salta la cuerda como es
Pero igualito vas a caer
Pa un lao pa otro quien lo puede saber
Ponte pa el lao que es
Nadie se salva, nadie se va liso
Pero igualito vas a caer
El que se enamora mira va pa el piso
Ponte pa el lao que es
Eso es una ley una ley una ley
Pero igualito vas a caer
Qué te pasa? Si quereis o no quereis
Ponte pa el lao que es
Vente pa el lado de la brisa
Pero igualito vas a caer
Mira que esa te levanta la camisa
Macaco! Y todo por tan poco!
Yo digo que sí; tú dices que no
La mía es la mejor
Mira la buena la que me toco
Yo digo que si tú dices que no
La mejor es la mía
Mira la buena la que me toco
Yo digo que sí; tú dices que no
Pero esta buena la que me toco
Ahora estoy arriba arriba!
Ahora me toca reír
Ahora me toca; ahora me toca reír a mí
Ahora estoy arriba arriba
Ahora me toca reír
La gente prefiere ahora tener la razón que ser feliz
Ahora estoy arriba arriba
Ahora me toca reír
Yo digo que sí; tú dices que no
Eso es el odio y el amor y el rencor
Es el amor el amor el amor
Ese y cual más si no hay otro
Es el amor el amor el amor
Ay ese que te pone a formar zaperoco
Es el amor el amor el amor
Ese es el amor () y el otro también...
Es el amor el amor el amor
Amorciiiito corazón
Es el amor el amor el amor
Eres mi bien lo que me tiene distanciado
Es el amor el amor el amor
Como negar que de ti estoy enamorado
Es el amor el amor el amor
El amor te da y te quita
Es el amor el amor el amor
Es el amor que le tengo maigualida y carmencita!
Y vamo allá!
In the song "El Odio y el Amor" by Guaco, the lyrics explore the complicated nature of love and the emotions that come with it. The song begins with the line "this story is a different matter altogether, all for ten centimeters long!" This line suggests that the story being told is unique and has its own set of challenges.
The lyrics continue by expressing how people often find themselves crying and feeling helpless when it comes to love. The line "something about love must have them stuck there" refers to the power that love has over people, making them feel attached and invested in relationships. It also mentions that even though nobody is obligated, everyone seems to get caught up in love's grip. The mention of lemon, sugar, and punches represents the various flavors and difficulties that one may experience in love.
Then, Gustavo tells a story from his childhood about how love seemed beautiful until he experienced it for himself. He realizes that it is not as great as people make it out to be, as it can bring both joy and sadness. The line "it is enjoyed, but it surely brings you down and lifts you up" reflects the rollercoaster of emotions that love can bring.
The following section of the song talks about the unpredictability and inevitable nature of falling in love. It encourages people to "jump rope" and move from one side to another, but ultimately, everyone will fall in love and experience its consequences. The repetition of the phrase "Ponte pa el lao que es" emphasizes the idea that everyone will eventually succumb to love.
The lyrics then mention Macaco and state that all of this chaos is caused by something so small or trivial. This line highlights the juxtaposition of love being a powerful and overwhelming force despite its simplicity.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I say yes, you say no," suggesting a conflict or disagreement between two people. It emphasizes that everyone believes their own love is the best and that it brings them happiness. Here, the song touches on the theme of ego and the desire to be right rather than focusing on finding true happiness.
The song concludes by returning to the theme of love and its complexities. It mentions that love can bring both happiness and resentment. The line "the love that takes away and gives" illustrates the duality of love and how it can both uplift and harm. The lyrics also express the singer's affection for someone named Carmencita.
Overall, "El Odio y el Amor" explores the intricate nature of love, its emotional rollercoaster, and the power it holds over people's lives. It delves into the conflicting feelings associated with love, emphasizing its ability to bring both joy and pain.
