Horas de Amor
Felipe Pinglo alva
A Timeless Love in a Convent Garden
Felipe Pinglo Alva's song "Horas de Amor" is a poignant reflection on a past love, set against the backdrop of a convent garden. The lyrics evoke a sense of nostalgia and melancholy as the singer reminisces about a time when he was deeply in love. The garden, with its beautiful fountain, serves as a symbol of the purity and serenity of his feelings. The fountain, described as a witness to his efforts to convince his beloved of his love, underscores the sincerity and depth of his emotions.
The song delves into the universal quest for truth and light, likening the pursuit of love to the search for truth. Despite the challenges and obstacles, the truth of his love shines brightly, a testament to its purity and intensity. The singer's declaration that he loved with all his soul and that their love was pure and filled with passionate dreams adds a layer of romantic idealism to the narrative. This idealism is contrasted with the present, where the absence of his beloved's guiding presence has turned his life into a torment.
The final verses of the song capture the essence of unfulfilled love and the pain of living without the warmth and guidance of the beloved's gaze. The singer's life, once inspired and obsessed with the image of his beloved, now feels like a martyrdom. The use of the word "hastiado" (weary) conveys a deep sense of exhaustion and disillusionment, highlighting the emotional toll of this unrequited love. "Horas de Amor" is a beautiful yet sorrowful exploration of love, loss, and the enduring impact of a cherished but unattainable romance.
