Amor Mío ¿Qué Me Has Hecho?

Camilo Sesto's song 'Amor Mío ¿Qué Me Has Hecho?' delves into the depths of an intense and possibly destructive love affair. The lyrics describe a love that is both enchanting and overwhelming, likening it to a spell that the protagonist cannot escape. The use of metaphors such as 'magia negra' (black magic) and 'luz divina' (divine light) suggests a love that is all-consuming and dual in nature, possessing both dark and light elements. The song captures the essence of an irresistible attraction that defies reason and control.

The emotional turmoil experienced by the singer is palpable as he describes the physical and emotional sensations that accompany his love. Phrases like 'como un orgasmo' and 'morbo y qué pasión' convey a deep carnal desire and obsession. The repeated chorus, 'Amor mío, ¿qué me has hecho?' (My love, what have you done to me?), reflects a sense of helplessness and confusion, as the protagonist feels both wounded and captivated by this love. The imagery of being pierced by a dagger that hurts without causing harm encapsulates the paradoxical pain and pleasure of this relationship.

Camilo Sesto's portrayal of love in this song is complex, highlighting the fine line between passion and madness. The lyrics suggest a love that is both empowering and debilitating, leading the protagonist to declare himself willing to risk everything, even his own life, for the sake of this love. The song's dramatic and emotional intensity is characteristic of Sesto's style, which often explores the themes of love, heartache, and the human condition.
