Cuando No Hay Mas Que Amor

Nacha Guevara's song 'Cuando No Hay Más Que Amor' is a poetic and heartfelt exploration of love as the ultimate force in life. The lyrics emphasize love as the singular, most powerful element that can drive human actions and emotions. Guevara paints a picture of love as the only sustenance ('como único pan'), the only goal ('como único afán'), and the only gift ('como único don'). This repetition underscores the idea that love is not just a part of life but the very essence of it.

The song delves into the various ways love manifests and impacts the world. It speaks of love's ability to bring joy and fulfillment to every moment ('llenar de alegría cada hora y cada día'), to uphold promises without material wealth ('cumplir promesas sin tener más riqueza'), and to transform even the ugliest streets into something beautiful ('vestirlas de sol'). These metaphors highlight love's transformative power, suggesting that it can change perspectives and realities, making the world a better place.

Guevara also touches on the social implications of love. She envisions love as a force that can clothe the poor and homeless in dignity ('cubrir mañana vagabundos y pobres con un traje de gala') and bring peace to the earth ('por la paz de la tierra'). The song suggests that love is a form of resistance and resilience, capable of facing any challenge ('para enfrentarse al cañón') and forging a better world ('forjar nuestro mundo y luchar'). Through these lyrics, Guevara calls for a world where love is the guiding principle, urging listeners to embrace love as the ultimate tool for change and unity.
