Esta manera tan enorme de amarte

José Luis Rodríguez's song 'Esta manera tan enorme de amarte' is a passionate and vivid portrayal of deep, consuming love. The lyrics paint a picture of a love so intense that it permeates every aspect of the narrator's life. From the very beginning, the song speaks of a 'custom of dreaming awake,' indicating that the beloved is always on the narrator's mind, even in moments of solitude. This constant presence is described as an 'anxiety' and 'brutal restlessness' that only the beloved's arrival can soothe.

The song delves into the physical and emotional connection between the lovers. Phrases like 'this madness of your body in my body' and 'this delirium of your flesh in my flesh' highlight the physical passion and the almost overwhelming desire that the narrator feels. The use of words like 'magic' and 'prodigy' to describe their union suggests that their love is something extraordinary and almost otherworldly. The imagery of 'my chest in your chest' and 'my hand on your belly' emphasizes the closeness and intimacy they share.

As the song progresses, it speaks to the natural and effortless way they give themselves to each other, starting as a gentle breeze and escalating to an unleashed sea. This metaphor beautifully captures the progression of their love from tender beginnings to a powerful, all-encompassing force. The song concludes with a sense of fulfillment and tranquility, as the lovers embrace and savor the moment of their love's culmination. Rodríguez's lyrics masterfully convey the depth and intensity of a love that is both passionate and serene, making 'Esta manera tan enorme de amarte' a timeless ode to the power of love.
