Amor te digo esta palabra
Luis Eduardo Aute Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Amor,
Te digo esta palabra,
Mil veces repetida,
Acaso sin pensarla,
Como una letanía.
Te digo esta palabra,
Que se me hace vacía
A fuerza de nombrarla,
No sé que significa.
Amor,
¿por qué he de pronunciarla?
Sintiendo esta agonía,
Si no me dice nada,
La digo por rutina.
Amor,
Qué enfebrecida magia
Ardiendo en tus pupilas
Me arranca esa palabra
Si ya no sé decirla.
The song "Amor te digo esta palabra" by Luis Eduardo Aute is an introspective and contemplative piece that explores the complexity of love and the act of pronouncing it. The opening lines express how the word "love" is repeated countless times without much thought, almost as a mindless ritual. The word has become empty and devoid of meaning, something that is said out of habit rather than genuine feeling. The singer questions the purpose of saying the word when it doesn't bring any clarity or understanding.
The second stanza delves deeper into the singer's conflicted emotions. He asks why he has to say the word "love" when it only brings him agony and confusion. The repetition of the word has made it lose its significance, leaving the singer with a sense of emptiness and uncertainty. He wonders if the word has any real value, or if it's just a meaningless label.
The final stanza explores the power of love and how it can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. The singer describes the "feverish magic" in his lover's eyes that forces him to say the word despite his doubts and insecurities. Love is portrayed as a force that is beyond control and understanding, something that can inspire both joy and fear.
Overall, "Amor te digo esta palabra" is a thought-provoking song that challenges the traditional notions of love and romanticism. It is a poignant reminder that words can lose their meaning and that true understanding and connection can only come from personal experience.
