The Beauty of Love in 'Qué Bonito Amor'
Maria de Lourdes' song 'Qué Bonito Amor' is a heartfelt ode to the beauty and intensity of love. The lyrics are filled with admiration and affection, painting a vivid picture of the emotions that come with being deeply in love. The repeated phrases 'Qué bonito amor' (What a beautiful love), 'Qué bonito cielo' (What a beautiful sky), 'Qué bonita Luna' (What a beautiful moon), and 'Qué bonito Sol' (What a beautiful sun) emphasize the all-encompassing nature of the singer's feelings. These natural elements serve as metaphors for the purity and grandeur of the love she experiences, suggesting that her love is as vast and magnificent as the sky, moon, and sun.
The song also delves into the longing and desire that accompany such profound emotions. The singer expresses a deep yearning for physical and emotional closeness, as seen in lines like 'Ven juntito a mi quiero que tus manos me hagan cariño' (Come close to me, I want your hands to caress me) and 'Dame más amor, pero más y más' (Give me more love, but more and more). This longing is further highlighted by the acknowledgment of the transient nature of their moments together, with the line 'Quiero que me beses como tú me besas y después te vas' (I want you to kiss me like you kiss me and then you leave).
Despite recognizing that she may not have the right to love so intensely ('No tiene derecho de quererte tanto'), the singer cannot help but feel that their souls are connected. This connection is so strong that it feels as though her lover's soul is calling out to her, asking for affection ('Pero siento que tu alma me grita, me pide cariño y nomás no me aguanto'). The song concludes with a sense of gratitude and transformation, as the singer acknowledges that any change in her is due to the love she has received ('Si algo en mi cambio te lo debo a ti'). 'Qué Bonito Amor' is a beautiful celebration of love's power to transform and elevate the human spirit.
