Como Yo Te Amé
Nana Caymmi Lyrics

The song "Como Yo Te Ame" by Nana Caymmi is a beautiful tribute to a love that was intense, deep and all-consuming. The lyrics convey the idea of a love that was so powerful, it was beyond the bounds of imagination. The song speaks about how the singer loved their partner with every fibre of their being and how the depth of their love could never be matched by another. The singer talks about how this love made them feel alive and yet, it was also a form of death, to be so completely consumed by love. The singer talks about being under the shadow of their partner, which could be interpreted as them living in the shadow of their partner's love or being consumed by it entirely.

The refrain, "Cómo yo te amé" is repeated throughout the song, and it is almost as if the singer is trying to convince someone, maybe the partner or even themselves, of the intensity of their love. They know that their partner could never imagine how much they loved them or how much they gave up for them. The singer also acknowledges that their love was an exaggeration, a hyperbole, but it was true nonetheless.

Overall, "Como Yo Te Ame" is a heartbreaking yet beautiful song that talks about the depth of love and how it can consume us entirely. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and nostalgia for a love that was lost, but one that will always be remembered and cherished.
