Es Tan Poco el Amor
Jaime López Lyrics

The lyrics of Jaime Lopez's song El Amor Es Pasajero depict a rather unconventional approach to love and relationships. The opening lines, "Tu no sabes que placer me da verte de espaldas / Justo en el momento en que tu dignidad te llama" roughly translate to "You don't know how much pleasure it gives me to see you turned away / Right when your dignity calls you." These lines suggest that the singer is attracted to the idea of their partner ignoring them and being cold towards them, which is quite contrary to the usual notions of love and affection. The next lines, "Gozo incluso si me aplicas esa ley del hielo / Ya que es tan poco el amor para gastarlo en celos" mean "I take pleasure even if you give me the silent treatment / For love is too precious to waste on jealousy." The singer seems to imply that they would rather have no attention at all from their partner than suffer from jealousy and mistrust in the relationship.

The chorus, which repeats the phrase "Es tan poco el amor para gastarlo en celos" (Love is too precious to waste on jealousy) several times, reinforces the idea that the singer values trust and mutual respect over affection and romantic gestures. The second verse further elaborates on this view, with lines like "Soy dichoso en el desprecio intenso en que me arrojas / Hasta encuentro regocijo por el desencuentro" (I am happy in the intense disdain you throw at me / I even find joy in the misunderstandings). The singer seems to find pleasure in the negative aspects of the relationship, suggesting that they prefer a challenging and volatile dynamic rather than a smooth and harmonious one. The final lines, "Es por pura diversión y no como mendigo / Que te pido mínimo una pizca de tu tiempo" (It's for pure entertainment and not as a beggar / That I ask for a little bit of your time), reveal that the singer doesn't take love too seriously and is content with having fun in the relationship without any expectations or demands.

Overall, Jaime Lopez's El Amor Es Pasajero defies the traditional notions of love and romance, portraying a dynamic between two people that is based on unconventional desires and attitudes. The lyrics suggest that sometimes love can be too precious to be wasted on jealousy and that a relationship can be enjoyable even if it doesn't follow the usual patterns of affection and admiration.
