Hagamos el amor

Los Kjarkas' song "Hagamos el amor" is a heartfelt plea for rekindling a lost love through the intimate act of making love. The lyrics are imbued with a sense of regret and longing, as the narrator reflects on the departure of a significant other who once brought light and joy into their life. The imagery of flowers that have withered in the absence of this person symbolizes the emotional desolation and the void left behind. The narrator's realization of the depth of their love only after the separation adds a layer of poignancy to the song.

The chorus, "Hagamos el amor," serves as a repeated call to action, suggesting that physical intimacy can be a powerful means of healing and reconnecting. The act of making love is portrayed not just as a physical union but as a way to nurture and grow the emotional bond between the couple. The metaphor of watering a garden with the "vertiente del deseo" (stream of desire) emphasizes the need for mutual effort and passion to revive their relationship. This garden metaphor extends to the idea of waiting for a new day that brings new hopes and dreams, highlighting the cyclical nature of love and renewal.

The song also touches on the theme of eternal love, with lines like "para vivir eternamente acariciando las estrellas iluminados del amor" (to live eternally caressing the stars illuminated by love). This celestial imagery elevates the act of making love to a spiritual experience, suggesting that true love transcends time and space. Los Kjarkas, known for their Andean folk music, blend traditional sounds with contemporary themes, creating a timeless piece that resonates with anyone who has experienced the complexities of love and loss.
