Amor Ciegu

Los Berrones' song 'Amor Ciegu' delves into the complexities and unexpected turns that love can bring into one's life. The lyrics tell the story of a man who was once content and living life on his own terms until he met a woman who completely changed his world. The phrase 'ciegu tenía que tar cuando Cupido disparó' (I must have been blind when Cupid shot) suggests that the protagonist was unaware of the drastic changes that love would bring. Instead of the typical arrows of love, Cupid's shot felt more like a heavy blow, indicating the overwhelming and perhaps burdensome nature of this new relationship.

The song continues to describe how the woman took control of his life, leaving him feeling as though his freedom and fun had come to an end. The repeated lines 'Ella llegó y mandó y ordenó' (She came, commanded, and ordered) emphasize her dominant presence and the significant impact she has had on his life. The protagonist's friends notice a change in him, suggesting that he is no longer the same person he was before she 'threw her glove' at him. This metaphor indicates that she has claimed him, much like a knight accepting a challenge.

The internal conflict of the protagonist is palpable as he contemplates whether to remain silent or rebel against this new reality. He expresses a desire to change his circumstances but admits to lacking the courage to do so. The song concludes with a plea for release, highlighting the protagonist's struggle between love and the loss of his former self. 'Amor Ciegu' captures the bittersweet and often challenging nature of love, where joy and freedom can sometimes be overshadowed by control and change.
