Amor Planetario

Manuel Carrasco's song 'Amor Planetario' is a passionate ode to a love that feels otherworldly and all-consuming. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that is both intense and playful, where the lovers are deeply intertwined in each other's worlds. The song opens with a playful acknowledgment of the woman's wild side and the man's willingness to embrace it, suggesting a dynamic where both partners are equally captivated by each other. The metaphor of the man being her 'manicomio' (asylum) and her kiss driving him 'loco' (crazy) sets the tone for a love that is both exhilarating and maddening.

The chorus, with its repeated plea for more kisses, underscores the addictive nature of their relationship. The imagery of their interactions, such as her disarming him with a look and the playful exchange of painting each other's lips and eyes, highlights the intimate and almost ritualistic aspects of their love. The lyrics suggest a deep connection that goes beyond the physical, touching on the spiritual and emotional realms. The line 'En los altares del alma, la religión de tu cuerpo' (In the altars of the soul, the religion of your body) beautifully encapsulates this idea, portraying their love as a sacred and transformative experience.

The song's title, 'Amor Planetario,' and the closing lines about inventing a galaxy together and experiencing 'choques de estrellas' (star collisions) elevate their love to a cosmic level. This celestial imagery suggests that their love is not just a personal experience but something grand and universal. It speaks to the idea of love as a force that can create its own universe, a place where the lovers can escape and be free. Carrasco's emotive delivery and the poetic lyrics combine to create a song that is both a celebration of love's intensity and a testament to its power to transcend the ordinary.
