Amor En Tres Tiempos
Ali Primera
The Ebb and Flow of Love and Sorrow
Ali Primera's "Amor En Tres Tiempos" is a poetic exploration of love's complexities, set against the backdrop of a beach scene. The song begins with a moment of intimacy, where the singer notices his beloved's sadness and offers comfort through kisses and a song. This opening sets the tone for a narrative that intertwines deep affection with moments of sorrow.
The lyrics then shift to a more abstract and metaphorical realm, with imagery of shadows, eclipses, and the natural world reflecting inner turmoil and societal pain. References to dying colors and children, and a wounded seagull, suggest a lament for lost innocence and the impact of external sorrows on personal experiences. The eclipse symbolizes a moment of darkness and confusion, yet it is transient, giving way to a renewed vision of beauty as the lover's eyes become stars that light up the singer's night.
The song concludes with a return to the romantic theme, emphasizing the enduring nature of the couple's love despite the passage of time and the changing tides. The imagery of footprints being washed away by the sea and the whispers of a kiss being hidden by the waves evoke the fleeting nature of moments, yet the love remains constant. The wind's song and the interwoven dreams of the lovers suggest a deep connection that transcends the physical world. "Amor En Tres Tiempos" is a celebration of love's resilience in the face of life's ephemeral and often harsh realities.
