Amar Por Amar

Arturo Meza's song 'Amar Por Amar' delves into the profound and often elusive concept of unconditional love. Through vivid natural imagery, Meza contrasts the pure, selfless love found in nature with the conditional love often exhibited by humans. The lyrics evoke the effortless beauty and generosity of flowers, birds, and stars, which give their essence freely without expecting anything in return. This serves as a metaphor for a higher form of love, one that is pure and untainted by the need for reciprocation or reward.

The recurring line 'Amar por amar es agua que no conocen los hombres' (Loving for the sake of loving is water unknown to men) underscores the idea that true, unconditional love is a rare and almost divine quality. Meza suggests that this form of love is something that only the gods can fully comprehend and experience. The imagery of water, often a symbol of life and purity, further emphasizes the sacredness and purity of this kind of love. It is something that nourishes the soul but remains elusive to most people.

In contrast, the song points out that humans often seek compensation for their love, making it transactional rather than unconditional. This is highlighted in the lines 'Solo el hombre pide siempre recompensa por su amor' (Only man always asks for a reward for his love). Meza critiques this human tendency, suggesting that it diminishes the true essence of love. By juxtaposing the selfless love found in nature with the conditional love of humans, the song invites listeners to reflect on their own understanding and practice of love, urging them to aspire to a more divine, unconditional form of affection.
