Amor Ausente

In 'Amor Ausente,' Amaru delves into the profound sorrow and longing that accompanies unrequited love. The song's title, which translates to 'Absent Love,' sets the stage for a narrative steeped in emotional pain and yearning. The lyrics express a deep sense of futility and heartache, as the singer grapples with the reality of loving someone who is no longer present in their life. The repeated question, 'De que me sirve hoy, para que, todo el amor que siento,' which means 'What good is it today, for what, all the love I feel,' underscores the singer's despair and the seeming pointlessness of their enduring affection.

Amaru's poignant delivery highlights the contrast between the joy the beloved seems to experience and the desolation felt by the singer. The line 'Para ti todo es alegría, para mí esa ya no es vida,' or 'For you, everything is joy, for me, that is no longer life,' starkly illustrates this emotional divide. The use of 'viditay,' a term of endearment, adds a layer of intimacy and personal connection, making the sense of loss even more palpable. The singer's declaration of having given 'cariño verdadero,' or 'true affection,' further emphasizes the depth and sincerity of their feelings, which are met with absence and indifference.

The song's repetitive structure and melancholic tone serve to reinforce the theme of unfulfilled love. Each verse echoes the same sentiments, mirroring the cyclical nature of the singer's thoughts and emotions. This repetition not only conveys the persistence of their longing but also the inescapable reality of their situation. 'Amor Ausente' is a poignant exploration of the pain of loving someone who is no longer there, capturing the essence of heartache and the enduring hope for a love that remains unreciprocated.
