La Fuerza de Amar

Roupa Nova's song 'La Fuerza de Amar' is a beautiful ode to the transformative power of love. The lyrics speak to the profound changes that love can bring into one's life, emphasizing how it can break down barriers and transcend boundaries. The singer describes filling their heart with 'lunas y estrellas' (moons and stars) and learning to 'mover las montañas' (move mountains), illustrating the almost magical capabilities that love bestows upon them. This metaphorical language highlights the boundless potential and strength that love can provide, making the impossible seem achievable.

The song continues to explore the idea that love can make one feel like a 'Hombre Superior' (Superior Man), better than they were before. This transformation is not just about personal growth but also about the ability to affect the world around them. The singer claims they can 'detener la luna en un beso' (stop the moon with a kiss) and 'cambiar el sentido del viento' (change the direction of the wind), suggesting that love gives them control over their destiny and the natural world. The repeated assertion that 'la vida empieza a cambiar' (life begins to change) when one falls in love underscores the theme of love as a catalyst for positive change.

The chorus reinforces the idea that love is an art ('El amor es un arte') and that the force of loving someone ('la fuerza de amarte') is a powerful, almost mystical experience. The song suggests that while others may find it hard to understand ('La gente no puede entender'), the ease with which love can make one feel like they are flying ('que sea tan fácil volar') is undeniable. This poetic depiction of love as an elevating and liberating force resonates deeply, making 'La Fuerza de Amar' a celebration of love's ability to transform and elevate the human spirit.
