Cuando Manda El Corazón

“Cuando Manda El Corazón” by Novela Amor Bravío is a passionate declaration of love that explores the overwhelming power of emotions when the heart takes control. The lyrics convey a sense of surrender and devotion, where the protagonist feels completely consumed by their love for another person. The opening lines, “Siento que esta vez mi corazón / Se regaló a tus besos y ya no es mío,” set the tone for the song, illustrating how the protagonist’s heart has been given away and is no longer their own. This metaphor of giving one's heart away signifies a deep emotional connection and a loss of personal control in the face of love.

The song delves into the pain and pleasure of love, as seen in the lines, “Dueles porque duele tanto amor, / Duele y es que nunca es suficiente.” Here, the protagonist acknowledges that love can be both beautiful and painful, and that the intensity of their feelings is never fully satisfied. This duality of love is a common theme in romantic literature and music, highlighting the complexity of human emotions. The lyrics also emphasize the idea of obsession and desperation, with phrases like “Siento que me llenas de locura y de pasión, / Es desesperación para tenerte,” portraying love as an all-consuming force that drives the protagonist to the brink of madness.

The chorus, “Te doy el alma, / Para que hagas lo que quieras de mí,” further emphasizes the theme of surrender. The protagonist is willing to give everything, including their soul, to the person they love. This level of devotion is both romantic and intense, showcasing the depth of their feelings. The song concludes with a sense of inevitability, as the protagonist admits, “No se tiene control, / Es estar enamorado / Cuando manda el corazón.” This final sentiment encapsulates the essence of the song: when the heart takes over, there is no control, only the raw, unfiltered experience of being in love.
