Se Amaban

Luis Miguel's song 'Se Amaban' delves into the complexities of love, betrayal, and the destructive power of a third party. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a couple deeply in love, experiencing the pure and intense emotions of a first love. They are described as loving each other with the innocence of children and the divinity of new gods, suggesting a love that is both pure and transcendent. This idyllic love is likened to angels, emphasizing its purity and beauty.

However, the narrative takes a dark turn with the introduction of a third character, who subtly and insidiously inserts himself into the couple's relationship. This interloper is depicted as a predator, likened to a wolf stalking its prey. His actions are described with metaphors of fog and subtlety, indicating a stealthy and manipulative approach. He awakens dark passions in the woman and sows discord in the man's heart, ultimately leading to the destruction of their love. The imagery of 'black passions' and 'bad weeds' symbolizes the corruption and decay he brings into their lives.

The song concludes with the interloper reflecting on the chaos he has caused. Having ignited a destructive fire, he now disappears like the waves, leaving behind the wreckage of what was once a beautiful love. The repetition of the couple's love and adoration serves as a poignant reminder of what has been lost. Luis Miguel's emotive delivery and the lyrical content combine to create a powerful narrative about the fragility of love and the devastating impact of betrayal.
