Un Amor Entre Dos
Guardianes Del Amor
The Bittersweet Struggle of Shared Love
“Un Amor Entre Dos” by Guardianes Del Amor delves into the complex and often painful dynamics of a love triangle. The song is a heartfelt plea from one man to another, asking for the return of a shared love. The lyrics poignantly express the emotional turmoil and longing experienced by both men involved. The protagonist believes that despite the current relationship, the woman truly loves him and needs to come back to him. This sentiment is encapsulated in the lines, “se que ella me quiere a mi aunque hoy este contigo” (I know she loves me even though she is with you today).
The chorus of the song uses vivid metaphors to describe the nature of this shared love. The phrase “un amor entre dos es un dulce licor” (a love between two is a sweet liquor) suggests that love can be intoxicating and pleasurable, but also potentially harmful. The imagery of one person being drunk on love while the other suffers in pain highlights the imbalance and inevitable heartache in such a situation. The metaphor of a “barco de miel encallado en la arena” (a boat of honey stranded on the sand) further emphasizes the idea of something sweet and beautiful being stuck and unable to move forward, symbolizing the stagnation and frustration in the relationship.
The song also touches on themes of loyalty and the passage of time. The protagonist acknowledges the long-standing friendship with the other man, saying “sabes que te quiero bien desde hace muchos años” (you know I care for you well for many years). This adds a layer of complexity, as the plea is not just about romantic love but also about preserving a valued friendship. The repeated requests to let the woman return to him, despite the other man's insistence that she has moved on, underscore the desperation and deep emotional need felt by the protagonist. The song captures the essence of unrequited love, the pain of letting go, and the hope for reconciliation.
