The Birth of Love: A Journey Through Ricardo Montaner's 'Cuando Nacen Amores'
Ricardo Montaner's 'Cuando Nacen Amores' is a poetic exploration of the profound emotions and transformative experiences that accompany the birth of love. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of the initial stages of a romantic relationship, where everything feels magical and new. Montaner uses rich metaphors to describe this phase, likening it to being covered by an aureola and filled with dreams. The imagery of a pradera (meadow) and the comparison to children and felines emphasize the innocence, playfulness, and instinctual nature of new love.
The chorus of the song highlights the intensity and purity of this love. Montaner sings about the joy and vitality that his lover brings into his life, describing it as an 'amor del mio, intenso y puro' (my love, intense and pure). The plea for an excuse to love again and the willingness to die with the beloved underscore the depth of his feelings. This part of the song captures the all-consuming nature of love, where the presence of the beloved becomes essential for existence.
In the latter part of the song, Montaner continues to explore the transformative power of love. He describes how lovers become 'seres de veras' (real beings) and how the universe seems to shrink to the size of their bed, with words becoming the moon. This metaphor suggests that love creates a world of its own, where the lovers are the center of the universe. The song concludes with a call to cherish the present moment, as the song of their love is just beginning. Montaner's lyrical mastery and emotive delivery make 'Cuando Nacen Amores' a timeless ode to the beauty and intensity of new love.
