Ámame

Bertín Osborne's song 'Ámame' delves into the complexities of a forbidden love, where the protagonists are entangled in a secret affair. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of longing and desire, as the singer pleads with his lover to continue loving him despite the barriers that keep them apart. The clandestine nature of their relationship is evident from the very beginning, with lines like 'Si me llamas por las noches, si me quieres a escondidas' (If you call me at night, if you love me in secret), highlighting the need for discretion and the pain of hidden emotions.

The song's narrative is steeped in nostalgia and a sense of loss, as the singer reminisces about a time when their love was not shrouded in secrecy. The lyrics 'Cuando piensas, que hace años, me besabas sólo a mí' (When you think, that years ago, you only kissed me) evoke a longing for the past and a yearning for a simpler time. This sense of nostalgia is compounded by the realization that, despite the passage of time, the love they share remains strong and unyielding. The singer acknowledges the impossibility of forgetting each other, as expressed in 'Sabes que a pesar del tiempo, no podrás nunca olvidarte' (You know that despite the time, you will never be able to forget).

The chorus of the song serves as a poignant plea for continued affection, even in the face of insurmountable obstacles. 'Ámame, aunque no podamos vernos' (Love me, even if we can't see each other) encapsulates the essence of their relationship – a love that persists despite physical separation and societal constraints. The repeated calls to 'sueña que estás en mis brazos' (dream that you are in my arms) and 'abre tus labios y bésame' (open your lips and kiss me) underscore the intensity of their emotional connection and the deep-seated desire to be together, even if only in dreams.

Bertín Osborne's 'Ámame' is a heartfelt exploration of love's enduring power, even in the face of adversity. The song's evocative lyrics and emotive delivery capture the essence of a love that defies time and circumstance, resonating with anyone who has ever experienced the pain and beauty of a forbidden romance.
