Tu amor
Octavio Suñé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu amor es como una daga
Hoy me salva el cuello
Y mañana se me clava
Llevo en el alma una cruz de fuego
La que me hiciste una vez por miedo
Puedes verla
Bailando desnuda en la lluvia
Tiene veneno bajo las uñas
Ya no quiero tu amor
Pero se me quedo en la piel
Sabes que las estrellas
Brillan para ti también
Llevo en el pecho un dolor de acero
Y es como el año que fué de nuevo
Puedes verla
Bailando desnuda en la lluvia
Tiene un flash en el alma
Tiene veneno bajo las uñas
In Octavio Suñé's song "Tu amor," the lyrics depict a conflicted and painful relationship. The songwriter expresses a strong desire to no longer have the love of the other person. The phrase "Ya no quiero tu amor" translates to "I no longer want your love." This line sets the tone for the rest of the song.
Comparing the love to a dagger, the songwriter views it as a double-edged sword. On one hand, it saves them from a difficult situation in the present ("Hoy me salva el cuello"), but on the other hand, it will inevitably hurt them in the future ("Y mañana se me clava"). This creates a sense of tension and uncertainty in the relationship.
The songwriter carries a burden within their soul, symbolized by a cross of fire that was inflicted upon them by the other person out of fear ("La que me hiciste una vez por miedo"). This burden is not easily visible but is always present within them. The imagery of dancing naked in the rain evokes a sense of vulnerability and exposure, suggesting that the pain caused by the other person's actions has left a lasting impact.
Furthermore, the songwriter's pain is described as being as hard and unyielding as steel, reminiscent of the passing of time ("Y es como el año que fué de nuevo"). This suggests that the heartache from this relationship is both pungent and long-lasting. The phrase "Tiene un flash en el alma, tiene veneno bajo las uñas" portrays the other person's character as having an essence of both charm and toxicity, keeping the songwriter wary and on guard.
Despite the desire to be free from this love, there is an acknowledgment that it still lingers within the songwriter's being, leaving a lasting imprint on their skin ("Pero se me quedo en la piel"). Additionally, there is a recognition that even though the songwriter wants to move on, they remain conscious of their own worth and the significance they hold in the eyes of the other person ("Sabes que las estrellas brillan para ti también").
Overall, "Tu amor" conveys a complex and painful relationship where conflicting emotions and a lingering sense of hurt coexist. The lyrics evoke a sense of resilience and self-awareness in the midst of this difficult dynamic.
