Vivir Así Es Morir de Amor
Zemmoa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Siempre me traiciona la razón
Y me domina el corazón
No se luchar contra el amor

Siempre me voy a enamorar
De quien de mí no se enamora
Es por eso que mi alma llora

Ya no puedo más, ya no puedo más
Siempre se repite esta misma historia
Ya no puedo más, ya no puedo más
Estoy harta de llorar como una noria

Vivir así es morir de amor
Por amor tengo el alma herida
Por amor, no quiero más vida que su vida
Melancolía

Vivir así es morir de amor
Soy mendigo de sus besos
Soy su amiga
Y quiero ser algo más que eso
Melancolia

Siempre se apodera de mi ser
Mi serenidad se vuelve locura
Y me llena de amargura

Siempre me voy a enamorar
De quien de mí no se enamora
Es por eso que mi alma llora

Ya no puedo más, ya no puedo más
Siempre se repite esta misma historia
Ya no puedo más, ya no puedo más
Estoy harta de llorar como una noria

Vivir así es morir de amor
Por amor tengo el alma herida
Por amor, no quiero más vida que su vida
Melancolía

Vivir así es morir de amor
Soy mendigo de sus besos
Soy su amiga
Y quiero ser algo más que eso
Melancolia

Vivir así es morir de amor
Por amor tengo el alma herida
Por amor, no quiero más vida que su vida
Melancolía

Vivir así es morir de amor
Soy mendigo de sus besos
Soy su amiga

Y quiero ser algo más que eso
Melancolia

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Zemmoa's "Chat de Amor" depict the struggle of dealing with unrequited love. The singer is torn between their rational mind and their heart, which seems to always lead them towards falling in love with someone who does not reciprocate those feelings. This constant cycle of heartbreak is leading the singer towards despair, as they feel like they cannot stop themselves from falling in love with the wrong people, and their soul continues to cry out in pain.

The chorus of the song repeats that living like this is dying of love. The singer is wounded by their unrequited love and does not want to live if it cannot be with the person they desire. They mourn the fact that they are stuck in this limbo of being just friends, when they long for a deeper, more romantic connection with their object of affection. The song ends with a melancholic repetition of wanting to be more than just a friend and seeking a deeper, more fulfilling love.

Overall, "Chat de Amor" is a poignant representation of the agony of unrequited love, and how it can feel like an unbearable burden that one cannot escape.
