Amor Temporero

Marea's song 'Amor Temporero' delves into the complexities and transient nature of love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship marked by intense emotions and inevitable separation. The protagonist expresses a deep infatuation, comparing the beloved's eyes to 'fruta del olivo' (olive fruit), a metaphor that evokes both beauty and a sense of Mediterranean heritage. Despite this admiration, there's a clear acknowledgment that the relationship is temporary, as indicated by the repeated assertion that the beloved will not 'amaneces conmigo' (wake up with me).

The song's narrative is filled with moments of vulnerability and frustration. The protagonist's attempts to express love are met with indifference, as seen when the beloved falls asleep right after hearing 'te quiero' (I love you). This unreciprocated affection leads to a sense of resignation and a decision to move on, despite the lingering pain. The lyrics 'me voy cuando quiera y cuando quiera te olvido' (I leave when I want and when I want, I forget you) highlight the protagonist's struggle to detach emotionally.

' Amor Temporero' also explores the theme of self-worth and resilience. The protagonist rejects the idea of settling for a love that is fleeting and unfulfilling, as expressed in the lines 'no quiero tu amor temporero' (I don't want your temporary love). The imagery of 'ordeñaré las ubres de la luna' (I will milk the udders of the moon) and 'dosifico a pala y pico el sol' (I ration the sun with a shovel and pick) symbolizes a determination to find strength and solace in oneself, even in the face of heartbreak. This song is a poignant reflection on the ephemeral nature of love and the importance of self-preservation.
