Te Amaré
William Luna
A Father's Unconditional Love in 'Te Amaré'
William Luna's song 'Te Amaré' is a heartfelt expression of unconditional love, likely from a parent to a child. The lyrics use natural imagery to convey the depth and purity of this love. Comparing his love to the sun that shines on hair and the light that illuminates a face, Luna establishes a sense of warmth and nurturing. The mention of 'aroma a tierra mojada' (the scent of wet earth) evokes a sense of freshness and new beginnings, which can be associated with the growth and development of a child.
The chorus, 'Te amaré, te amaré, te amaré / Mientras tú me lo permitas' (I will love you, I will love you, I will love you / As long as you allow me), suggests a love that is respectful of boundaries and personal space, comparing it to a non-intrusive shadow or a gentle breeze. This love is supportive and present, like light, but not overbearing. The repetition of 'te amaré' emphasizes the enduring nature of this love.
The song also touches on the passage of time and the inevitable changes it brings. Luna acknowledges that there will come a time when he can no longer carry his child in his arms and will instead cherish the memory of his child's voice saying, 'Papá, te quiero mucho' (Dad, I love you so much). This poignant moment reflects the bittersweet reality of parenting: the joy of raising a child and the sadness of letting them go. 'Te Amaré' is a tender ode to the everlasting bond between a parent and child, filled with love that adapts and endures through all of life's stages.
