Qué Me Van a Hablar de Amor

Julio Sosa's 'Qué Me Van a Hablar de Amor' is a poignant reflection on love and experience from the perspective of someone who has lived through many romantic encounters. The lyrics convey a sense of weariness and skepticism towards advice on matters of the heart, as the narrator feels that his extensive personal experiences have given him a unique understanding of love that cannot be taught or advised upon.

The song begins with the narrator recounting his life's journey, marked by trials and tribulations. He metaphorically describes his experiences as 'giving tumbles' and 'rolling through the world,' crafting his own destiny. The 'charcos del camino' (puddles on the path) symbolize the challenges he has faced, and he prides himself on navigating through life with the wisdom gained from these experiences. The imagery of 'cuidan los zapatos / Andando de rodillas' (taking care of shoes / walking on knees) suggests that he has learned to protect himself, perhaps at the cost of humility or pain.

The chorus and subsequent verses delve into the narrator's romantic history. He dismisses the notion that anyone could teach him about love, as he has loved and lost, symbolized by the sky-like eyes of a past lover who is now just a memory. Despite being haunted by the 'soga del recuerdo' (rope of memory), he has always managed to break free, likening himself to an untamed horse. The narrator's declaration that he knows more about love than anyone else is both a statement of self-assurance and a possible defense mechanism against the vulnerability that comes with love. Julio Sosa, known for his expressive tango performances, captures the complex emotions of a person who has become jaded by love but still acknowledges its significance in his life.
