morir de amor
Miguel Bosé Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

¿Qué es morir de amor?
Morir de amor por dentro
Es quedarme sin tu luz
Es perderte en un momento

Cómo puedo yo
Decirte que lo siento
Que tu ausencia es mi dolor
Que yo sin tu amor me muero

Morir de amor
Despacio y en silencio sin saber
Si todo lo que he dado te llegó a tiempo
Morir de amor
Que no morirse solo en desamor
Y no tener un nombre que decirle al viento

Yo no sé muy bien
Qué es lo que está pasando
Tengo seco el corazón
Y es de haber llorado tanto

No me queda más
Que 2 o 3 recuerdos
Una carta a alguna flor
Un adios muy corto y un te quiero

Morir de amor
Despacio y en silencio sin saber
Si todo lo que he dado te llegó a tiempo
Morir de amor
Que no morirse solo en desamor
Y no tener un nombre que decirle al viento

Morir de amor
Despacio y en silencio sin saber
Si todo lo que he dado te llegó a tiempo
Morir de amor
Que no morirse solo en desamor
Y no tener un nombre que decirle al viento

Morir de amor




Despacio y en silencio sin saber
Si todo lo que he dado te llegó a tiempo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Miguel Bosé's song Morir De Amor speak about the pain of losing someone you love so much that it feels like dying. Bosé asks the question "what is it to die of love?" and goes on to explain that it's an internal feeling of being left without your partner's light, losing them in a moment. He tells his lover that he doesn't know how to express his sorrow, but that her absence is his pain and without her love, he feels like he's dying.


He sings about the slow and silent death of love, emphasizing that he doesn't want to die alone from heartbreak, without anything to show for his love. He talks about the heaviness in his heart, a result of too much crying and too much pain, which has left him with only a few memories, a letter to some flowers, and a short goodbye and "I love you". The song ends with the same chorus, as he repeats that he doesn't want to die just from heartbreak, that he wants his love to mean something and be remembered even if it ends.


One interesting fact about this song is that it was released in 1990 and became one of Miguel Bosé's most popular songs. It was written by the legendary Spanish songwriter Rafael Pérez Botija, who has composed many classic ballads in the Latin music world. The song was a big hit in Spain and Latin America, and continues to be played on the radio and in concerts to this day. Another interesting fact is that the song has been covered by many artists in different languages, including Italian, French, Portuguese, and even Arabic.


Interestingly, the song was also used as the theme music for a Spanish TV show called "Farmacia de Guardia", which aired in the 1990s and was hugely popular. The show was about a night shift at a pharmacy and Morir De Amor's haunting melody fit perfectly with the show's nighttime setting. The music video for the song was filmed in Venice, Italy, and showcases the city's iconic canals and bridges.


Overall, Morir De Amor is a timeless ballad that captures the pain and emptiness of losing love, and its popularity has transcended borders and languages.
