The Innocent Yearning in 'Juego del Amor'
Ov7's 'Juego del Amor' captures the essence of youthful love, filled with innocence, passion, and a touch of rebellion. The song's protagonist expresses a deep longing to experience love, despite being told that they are too young and that their feelings are merely a game. This sentiment is evident in the lines, 'No he podido gozar el amor todavia / pues me dicen que estoy muy niña,' where the protagonist feels misunderstood and underestimated by those around them. The song beautifully encapsulates the intensity of young love, where even the sound of the beloved's voice can make the heart race and emotions soar.
The chorus, with its repetitive 'Na na na na naa,' invites the listener to join in the 'game of love,' suggesting that love, despite its complexities and uncertainties, is something to be embraced and enjoyed. The protagonist's desire to be with their beloved, to hold them close, and to make them their reason for being, highlights the depth of their feelings. The lyrics, 'Nada mas me importa ya, ¿Qué no puedes ver / que tu eres mi razón de ser?' emphasize the all-consuming nature of their love, which is both exhilarating and overwhelming.
The song also touches on the universal question of whether love is just a game. The protagonist acknowledges that many people view love as a game, but they also see it as a way of life, a means to eternal happiness and unity. The lines, 'No sabemos si el amor es sólo un juego, / es lo que todo el mundo dice,' reflect this duality. Ultimately, the protagonist's wish to 'always be playing this game' with their beloved underscores their commitment and hope for a lasting, joyful relationship. 'Juego del Amor' is a celebration of young love's fervor and the desire to defy societal expectations to find true happiness.
