Amor Profundo

The Deep Love of Singing: An Ode to Passion and Pain
Jaime Roos' song "Amor Profundo" is a heartfelt tribute to the profound emotions that singing evokes in him. The lyrics convey a deep, almost spiritual connection to music, describing it as a source of immense joy and emotional release. Roos sings about the unique feeling that singing brings, a sensation that nothing else in the world can replicate. This deep love for singing is not just a hobby or a profession for him; it is a vital part of his existence, something that makes him vibrate with life.
However, the song also touches on the bittersweet nature of this passion. Roos acknowledges that within his joy, there is always a hidden tear, a recognition that everything is transient and that today's performance is only for today. This duality of joy and sorrow is a recurring theme in the song, highlighting the complex emotions that come with a deep love for something. The line "Herido estoy, por una pena loca" (I am wounded by a crazy sorrow) suggests that this passion also brings pain, a pain that deepens over the years but also drives him to continue singing.
The song also reflects on the passage of time and the constancy of his love for singing despite changing trends and fashions. Roos remains faithful to his art, singing the same songs in the same streets and neighborhoods, a testament to his unwavering dedication. This constancy is a source of comfort and identity for him, even as the world around him changes. "Amor Profundo" is a beautiful exploration of the deep, sometimes painful, but ultimately fulfilling love that Jaime Roos has for singing, capturing the essence of what it means to be truly passionate about something.
