Amo Dejarte Asi

Gustavo Cerati, the renowned Argentine musician and former leader of the rock band Soda Stereo, is known for his poetic lyrics and evocative music. In the song 'Amo Dejarte Asi,' Cerati explores the complex emotions involved in an intimate relationship. The song's title, which translates to 'I Love Leaving You Like This,' hints at a bittersweet mixture of pleasure and the pain of parting.

The opening lines, 'Divina obscenidad / Dar el máximo de piel / Sin librarte de mi,' suggest a divine obscenity in giving one's all, skin to skin, without being able to free oneself from the other person. This could be interpreted as the deep connection and vulnerability that comes with physical intimacy, where one is fully exposed yet cannot let go. The phrase 'Amo dejarte así' repeats like a mantra, emphasizing the singer's love for leaving the other person in a state of desire, perhaps after a moment of passion.

The lyrics also mention 'Palabras profanas / De tu boca pura,' which contrasts profane words coming from a pure mouth, indicating a duality within the relationship or the person themselves. The sweetness ('toda mi dulzura') hanging over the other person could symbolize the lingering affection and tenderness that remains even when the physical act is over. The repetition of 'Amo dejarte así / Amo quedarme así' reinforces the theme of loving both the act of leaving and staying in that moment of passion and connection.
