El verdadero amor

Rocío Durcal's song "El verdadero amor" delves into the profound and multifaceted nature of true love. The lyrics emphasize that love is best expressed through actions rather than words. Durcal sings that love is a feeling that, when given, returns in abundance. This notion is beautifully encapsulated in the lines, "El amor se dice cantando / Lo demás se lo lleva el viento," suggesting that love is communicated through heartfelt expressions, while everything else is fleeting and insignificant.

The song contrasts genuine love with relationships marred by pain and fear. Durcal highlights that true love involves mutual respect and acceptance, as seen in the lines, "Es cuando una persona / Respeta a la otra / Y la acepta tal y cual." This respect and acceptance are the cornerstones of a healthy relationship. In contrast, where there is pain and fear, love cannot thrive, and the relationship becomes strained and unfulfilling. The lyrics, "Pero donde hay dolor / Se vive con temor," poignantly illustrate this dichotomy.

Durcal also underscores that true love is demonstrated through actions, not just words. The repetition of the phrase, "No se entiende con palabras / Se entiende con hechos," reinforces the idea that love is about what we do rather than what we say. This message is a call to authenticity and genuine connection, urging listeners to show their love through tangible actions. The song's recurring theme that love is not about suffering but about peace and joy, "El amor no es un sufrimiento / Y el que sufra no podrá vivir jamás / En santa paz," serves as a reminder that true love should bring tranquility and happiness, not pain and turmoil.
