The Essence of Love in Imperfection

Pablo Milanés' song 'Amor' is a heartfelt ode to the beauty found in imperfection and the profound connection between two people. The lyrics are a tender exploration of love that transcends physical appearances and superficial qualities. Milanés begins by addressing his lover, stating that he doesn't care about their extreme thinness or any other physical attribute. Instead, he cherishes the way they look at him with kindness, emphasizing the emotional and spiritual connection over the physical one.

The song continues to highlight various aspects of the lover's body, such as their eyes, hands, and hair, which may not conform to conventional standards of beauty. However, Milanés finds deep meaning and beauty in these features because they are part of the person he loves. The eyes, though not bright like stars, make him feel touched; the hands, though not elegant, are human and comforting; the hair, though lacking color and shine, lovingly protects what lies beneath. This portrayal underscores the idea that true love sees beyond the surface and values the essence of the person.

Milanés also touches on the intellectual and emotional aspects of his lover, praising their mind for its thoughts and the strength it generates, which makes him a better person. The song culminates in a powerful declaration that the lover's body, though seemingly inanimate, comes to life through their love. This profound connection is what makes Milanés want to live by their side, celebrating the idea that love is about cherishing the whole person, imperfections and all.
