Cosas Del Amor

En 'Cosas Del Amor,' Enrique Iglesias delves into the depths of a passionate and possibly tumultuous love affair. The song's lyrics express a deep and consuming love that is willing to endure pain and suffering. The opening lines set the tone for a love that is so intense that the protagonist is indifferent to the agony it may cause, suggesting a willingness to accept the hardships as part of the experience of loving deeply.

The recurring theme of the song is the idea that without the beloved, life loses its meaning. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and longing, with the singer declaring himself both a slave and a master to love, indicating a complex dynamic of power and surrender. The metaphors used throughout the song, such as being an 'eagle' and a 'wounded gazelle,' or being dragged by the waves like a 'paper boat,' illustrate the natural, primal, and sometimes uncontrollable forces of love and desire.

The song also touches on the physical aspects of love, with references to the beloved's body and skin, and the desire to quench a thirst that only the beloved can satisfy. The imagery of preaching in the desert of the beloved's 'absurd heart' suggests a sense of futility and unrequited love, yet the singer remains steadfast in his devotion. Overall, 'Cosas Del Amor' is a powerful portrayal of the complexities and contradictions of love, where pain and pleasure, longing and fulfillment, are inextricably linked.
