Amantes de Lo Ajeno (feat. Love Of Lesbian)

La Pegatina, featuring Love Of Lesbian, delivers a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the passage of time in their song 'Amantes de Lo Ajeno.' The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a journey, both literal and metaphorical, where the protagonist walks far away to escape the shadows of past memories. This journey is slow and deliberate, allowing time for forgetfulness to negotiate its terms. The repeated phrase 'camino lejos' (I walk far) underscores the desire to distance oneself from painful memories and the shadows they cast.

The song delves into the complexities of love, describing the protagonist as a 'vigilante de lo nuestro' (guardian of what is ours), suggesting a protective yet ultimately futile effort to preserve a relationship. The 'vigilantes de caminos' (guardians of the paths) who 'no dejaron de mirar' (did not stop watching) symbolize societal pressures and the inevitability of reality catching up. The lyrics reflect on the intensity of love, with or without mercy, and the bittersweet nostalgia of remembering how deeply they loved the first time.

The chorus emphasizes the inevitability of change and the necessity of moving on. The protagonist was 'born to find' their lover but struggles to demonstrate their feelings, hiding behind metaphors of 'zapatillas, campanas y cortinas' (sneakers, bells, and curtains). This imagery suggests a desire to shield oneself from vulnerability. The phrase 'amantes de lo ajeno' (lovers of the foreign) hints at the idea of cherishing what is not truly theirs, perhaps a love that was never meant to last. The song concludes with a sense of urgency, warning that if they leave things for tomorrow, they may lose their chance forever, encapsulating the fleeting nature of love and the importance of seizing the moment.
