The Arrival of Love: A Heartfelt Journey
“Llegó El Amor” by De Pocas Pocas Pulgas is a vibrant celebration of love and the overwhelming emotions that come with it.

The mention of “mariposas en la panza” (butterflies in the stomach) is a universal metaphor for the nervous excitement that accompanies new love, making the song relatable to anyone who has experienced these feelings.
The lyrics also delve into the transformative power of love. The narrator expresses a desire for their beloved to be with them for “150 millones de años” (150 million years), highlighting the timeless and enduring nature of their affection. The line “una nueva sensación se apoderó de mi razón” (a new sensation took over my reason) suggests that love has completely taken over their thoughts and emotions, altering their perception of the world. This idea is reinforced in the chorus, where the narrator urges to “cuídalo, riégalo siéntelo” (take care of it, nurture it, feel it), emphasizing the importance of cherishing and nurturing love.
The repeated declarations of “Te amo” (I love you) in the second chorus and throughout the song underscore the depth of the narrator’s feelings. The plea to “no permitas que el sueño llegue a su fin” (don’t let the dream come to an end) reflects a fear of losing this newfound happiness. The song captures the essence of being in love, from the initial excitement to the desire for it to last forever. De Pocas Pocas Pulgas uses simple yet powerful language to convey the intensity and beauty of love, making “Llegó El Amor” a heartfelt anthem for lovers everywhere.
