Si
No imaginas como de nosotros han hablado
Dicen que por ser amantes somos descarados
Cuesta saber que lo nuestro es algo profundo
Si supieran que te amo como a nada en el mundo
Dicen que por ser casados somos algo prohibido
Que yo tengo a mi mujer y vos a tu marido
Que no merecemos nada solamente un castigo
No vivimos de lo que dirán
Si la gente habla por hablar
Un papel no es la felicidad
Yo te amo y esa es la verdad
No saben que todo, todo nuestro amor es puro
Es fuego y pasión que no se apagarán
Yo te lo aseguro
Nos condena solo por amor
Dicen que lo nuestro es inmoral
Que somos amantes nada más
Somos la vergüenza del lugar
No saben que todo
Todo nuestro amor es puro
Es fuego y pasión que no se apagarán
Te amo y te lo juro
Por dios!
Esa
No imaginas como de nosotros han hablado
Dicen que por ser amantes somos descarados
Cuesta saber que lo nuestro es algo profundo
Si supieran que te amo como a nada en el mundo
Dicen que por ser casados somos algo prohibido
Que yo tengo a mi mujer y vos a tu marido
Y que nada nos importa, ni siquiera los hijos
Que no merecemos nada solamente un castigo
No vivimos de lo que dirán
Si la gente habla por hablar
Un papel no es la felicidad
Yo te amo y esa es la verdad
No saben que todo, todo nuestro amor es puro
Es fuego y pasión que no se apagarán
Yo te lo aseguro
Nos condena solo por amor
Dicen que lo nuestro es inmoral
Que somos amantes nada más
Somos la vergüenza del lugar
No saben que todo
Todo nuestro amor es puro
Es fuego y pasión que no se apagarán
Te amo y te lo juro
The lyrics of Rodrigo's song "Fuego y pasion" tell the story of a relationship between two people who are married to other people and are judged and condemned by society for being lovers. The song begins with the singer, Eva, expressing how people have talked about them and labeled them as "shameful" and "prohibited" due to their love for each other. However, they both know that their love is pure and genuine, and nothing else matters. Regardless of what society thinks, they are determined to be together and love each other endlessly. The song emphasizes that love knows no boundaries, whether it is recognized or not.
The lyrics of the song also highlight the societal pressure and judgment that the couple faces. They are seen as an immoral and disgraceful pair, a "vergüenza del lugar" (shame of the place). However, throughout the song, the couple insists that their love can overcome any obstacle and survive the fires of judgment and criticism. They refuse to let society dictate their love and happiness.
Overall, Rodrigo's "Fuego y passion" provides listeners with an insight into the complexities of love, societal expectations, and taboos.
