The Confusion of Love and Longing in Roxette's 'No Sé Si Es Amor'

Roxette's 'No Sé Si Es Amor (It Must Be Love)' delves into the complexities and uncertainties of love. The song's lyrics express a deep sense of confusion and introspection as the protagonist questions whether their feelings constitute love. The repeated phrase 'No sé si es amor' which translates to 'I don't know if it's love,' captures the essence of the song's theme: the difficulty in distinguishing between love and other intense emotions.

The lyrics describe a relationship that is both fulfilling and perplexing. The protagonist feels happy with their partner ('Con él soy feliz') but also experiences solitude ('Solitaria en mi cama'). This duality suggests a relationship that is emotionally charged but perhaps lacking in stability or commitment, as indicated by the line '¿Por qué se va?' ('Why does he leave?'). The song portrays love as something that is felt deeply and visibly ('Tan adentro de mi / Que se ve a flor de piel'), yet there is a sense of longing and uncertainty that permeates the experience.

Roxette, a Swedish pop rock duo, was known for their catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics. 'No Sé Si Es Amor' is a testament to their ability to capture the emotional rollercoaster of romantic relationships. The song resonates with anyone who has ever been unsure about their feelings, highlighting the universal nature of love's ambiguity. The emotional vulnerability expressed in the song is a hallmark of Roxette's music, which often explores the themes of love, desire, and the human condition.
