Pura Candela
Isabel Pantoja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El amor no es juego, no es una aventura
Es pura candela, es candela pura
El amor no es juego, es una aventura
No maltrates mi querer
No me digas que te vas otra vez
No dispares a matar
Que si me dejas tal vez me pierdas
Que yo no sé si te esperare
Que si te vas cerraras la puerta
Que yo no sé si te la abriré
Mucho cuidado mi amor
Piénsalo bien
Porque el amor es pura candela
Que si se apaga no enciende más
Que yo no quiero aguantar la vela
Que si te marchas me perderás
Es pura candela, es candela pura
El amor no es juego, es una aventura
Es pura candela es candela pura
El amor no es juego, es una aventura
Una vez te perdone
Me quede esperando solo tu amor
Ya cambie no soy así
Si te vas ya no tendrás mi perdón
Que si me dejas tal vez me pierdas
Que yo no sé si te esperare
Que si te vas cerraras la puerta
Que yo no sé si te la abriré
Mucho cuidado mi amor
Piénsalo bien
In Isabel Pantoja's song "Pura Candela", she emphasizes the intensity and passion of love, warning her lover that it is not a game or a mere adventure. She uses the phrase "es pura candela" (it's pure fire) to describe the emotion and energy that love brings, but also warns that it can easily be extinguished if not handled with care. Pantoja pleads with her lover to not mistreat her or give her false hope by threatening to leave, and instead to communicate and work through their problems together. She acknowledges the pain of heartbreak and the uncertainty of waiting for someone who may not return, but ultimately reminds her lover that love is worth fighting for, even if it comes with risks and challenges.
The chorus of "Pura Candela" repeats the lines "es pura candela, es candela pura/ el amor no es juego, es una aventura" (it's pure fire, love is not a game, it's an adventure), emphasizing that love is not meant to be taken lightly or played around with. The contrast between the fiery passion of love and the seriousness of its consequences suggests that love requires balance and caution. The song's title and chorus also draw on the metaphor of fire to describe the intensity and power of love, which can either give warmth and light or cause destruction and chaos.
