The Essence of Love in 'Ni el clavel ni la rosa'

Leonardo Favio's 'Ni el clavel ni la rosa' is a poetic exploration of the profound feelings that love can evoke. The song begins with the singer expressing a sense of darkness within his soul, which is immediately dispelled when he turns to his beloved. The act of kissing her brings light and inspires tender words, suggesting that love has the power to transform and illuminate the darkest of moments.

The lyrics continue to describe the sensory experiences associated with love, such as the scent of the beloved's hair, which is compared to the fragrance of a lemon tree's flower. This comparison not only highlights the natural beauty of the loved one but also the sensory richness that love can bring to one's life. The singer's discovery of 'heaven' in his partner's gaze and the silent song his mouth murmurs further emphasize the intimate and spiritual connection he feels. The repeated phrase 'Esto es el amor' (This is love) serves as a refrain, anchoring the song's message about the all-encompassing nature of love.

Favio's declaration that he doesn't care for 'ni el clavel ni la rosa' (neither the carnation nor the rose) nor even the passing of spring, signifies that the presence of his beloved overshadows all other pleasures and beauties in life. The air he breathes offers no relief unless he feels her breath on his, and even in the laughter of a child, he sees the reflection of his love. The song encapsulates the idea that when one is truly in love, every aspect of life is imbued with the essence of the beloved, rendering all else insignificant.
