Mira lo que dicen sobre nuestro amor

The song 'Mira lo que dicen sobre nuestro amor' by the Chilean rock band Los Bunkers delves into the intimate and often misunderstood nature of a personal relationship. The lyrics speak to the external judgments and misconceptions that others may have about the love shared between two people. The opening lines, 'Mira lo que dicen sobre nuestro amor / Que con una sola mano tapo el sol,' suggest that outsiders believe the narrator is blinding themselves to reality for the sake of love, a common criticism of those in passionate relationships.

However, the narrator expresses a deep conviction in the goodness and light that their partner brings into their life, despite what others say. The metaphor of happiness being a treasure hidden in a chest ('La felicidad dormida en un baúl') implies that their love is a precious discovery, something that was waiting to be found and cherished. The repeated assurance 'Yo sé que tú me haces bien' serves as a personal affirmation against the backdrop of doubt cast by others.

The song also paints a picture of a couple seeking refuge from the storm of public opinion and the 'oscura tempestad' (dark storm) of truth. They dream of a place 'detrás del mar' (behind the sea) where they can be sheltered and live out their love away from prying eyes. The 'sueño eterno' (eternal dream) and 'sueño negro' (black dream) could symbolize the desire for an everlasting love that is also tinged with the fear of it being overshadowed by negativity or hardship. Los Bunkers, known for their emotive and poetic lyrics, encapsulate the complexity of love's perception and the yearning for an unjudged, pure connection.
