Amor Amor

The song "Amor Amor" by Agua Marina, a Peruvian cumbia band known for their romantic lyrics and tropical rhythms, delves into the deep emotions of love and longing. The lyrics speak of an individual who has been profoundly affected by the presence of someone they have fallen in love with. This person has become the sun and color in their life, symbolizing the brightness and vibrancy that love has brought into their otherwise mundane existence. The singer expresses a desire to possess every aspect of the beloved's being, from their gestures to their innocence.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that this love is one-sided, or at least not openly reciprocated. The singer is struggling with the intensity of their feelings, which have become so ingrained that the absence of the beloved causes them pain. There is an attempt to erase the beloved from their mind and heart, but they find traces of their love in everything that speaks of affection. This indicates an internal conflict where the singer knows they should not harbor such deep feelings, yet they are unable to control the love they have.

The chorus of the song, repeating the word 'amor' (love), emphasizes the singer's thirst for the beloved's charms. It's a cry of passion and a declaration of the intensity of their feelings. The repetition of 'te quiero tanto' (I love you so much) underscores the depth of the singer's emotion and the struggle they face in loving someone perhaps too much or in a way that they feel they shouldn't. The song captures the essence of unrequited love and the torment it can bring to the one who loves without being loved in return.
