Como Tus Ojos

Agustin Almeyda's song 'Como Tus Ojos' is a heartfelt ode to the profound and consuming nature of love. The lyrics are rich with metaphors and vivid imagery, painting a picture of a love so intense that it becomes the very essence of the narrator's existence. The repeated line, 'Te quiero como a mis ojos, como a mis ojos te quiero,' translates to 'I love you like my eyes, like my eyes I love you,' emphasizing the deep connection and the irreplaceable value the beloved holds in the narrator's life. This comparison to eyes, a vital and cherished part of oneself, underscores the indispensable nature of the loved one.

The song also explores the idea of love as a life-giving force. The narrator describes the beloved's eyes as both lethal and heavenly, suggesting that their gaze has the power to both destroy and elevate. This duality captures the overwhelming power of love, which can bring both immense joy and profound vulnerability. The imagery of the sea and rocks, and the longing for the beloved's lips, further illustrates the natural and inevitable pull of love, akin to the forces of nature.

Almeyda's lyrics also touch on the timeless and eternal aspects of love. The lines 'Las palabras son eternas, como el cielo es inmortal' ('Words are eternal, like the sky is immortal') and 'Y mi amor por ti es tan grande que no morirá jamás' ('And my love for you is so great that it will never die') convey a sense of everlasting devotion. This eternal love is portrayed as pure and innocent, as the narrator asks for forgiveness for their naivety and inexperience in love. The song beautifully captures the essence of first love, with its mix of innocence, intensity, and the promise of forever.
