Aun Te Amo

La Costumbre's song 'Aun Te Amo' delves into the profound emotions of unspoken love and yearning. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is deeply in love but struggles with the courage to express their feelings. The opening lines, 'Estas tan cerca de mi, Pero tan lejos de ser para mi,' highlight the painful proximity of the beloved, who remains emotionally distant and unaware of the narrator's affection. This sets the stage for a narrative of longing and internal conflict, where the narrator is caught between the intensity of their feelings and their inability to voice them.

The song uses celestial metaphors, referring to the beloved as 'mi luna y mi sol,' to emphasize the essential role they play in the narrator's life. Without this person, the narrator feels devoid of love and warmth, underscoring the depth of their emotional dependence. The repeated desire to find a way for the beloved to reciprocate these feelings, 'Es necesario encontrar, La forma en que tu me puedas amar,' reveals a desperate hope for mutual affection and connection.

'Aun Te Amo' also captures the torment of unfulfilled dreams and the nightly fantasies of being with the beloved, 'Paso las noches sonando, Que te tengo en mis brazos.' This dreamlike state contrasts sharply with the reality of the narrator's silence and inaction. The song concludes with a glimmer of hope, as the narrator contemplates finding the courage to confess their love, 'Tal vez manana tendre valor, Para buscarte y decirte, Lo que siente este corazon.' This ending leaves listeners with a sense of anticipation and empathy for the narrator's plight, resonating with anyone who has experienced the pain of unspoken love.
