Me gustan tus ojos

The song 'Me gustan tus ojos' by Camela, a Spanish musical group known for their blend of Flamenco and pop, delves into the themes of enduring love and heartbreak. The lyrics narrate the story of a person who initially thought they had moved on from a past love, only to realize that true love never fades. This realization is sparked by a dream where they felt loved and cherished, highlighting the deep emotional connection that remains despite the passage of time.

The chorus, 'A mí me gustan tus ojos,' which translates to 'I like your eyes,' serves as a poignant reminder of the admiration and affection the narrator still holds. However, there's a twist of irony as the narrator prefers their own eyes because they were the ones that first saw the beloved. This line underscores a sense of personal significance and the unique perspective that one's own experiences provide. The song also touches on memories of childhood love and promises made, which adds a layer of nostalgia and the innocence of first love.

As the song progresses, it reveals the pain of seeing a loved one change and become indifferent. The metaphor of a withered flower, once a symbol of their love, now scentless and colorless, powerfully illustrates the decay of what was once vibrant. The narrator's plea to the Virgin of Rocío for their love to be reciprocated as deeply as they loved encapsulates the blend of hope and despair that often accompanies unrequited love.
