Amarte duele

The song 'Amarte Duele' by Ximena Sariñana explores the intense and often painful emotions associated with deep love. The title itself, which translates to 'Loving You Hurts,' sets the tone for a heartfelt and poignant narrative. Sariñana uses the metaphor of wanting to take her love to Mars as a way to express a desire to escape societal judgments and obstacles that hinder their relationship. The repeated line 'Te quiero de aquí a Marte' emphasizes the depth and expansiveness of her feelings, suggesting a love that transcends earthly bounds.

Throughout the lyrics, Sariñana expresses the conflict between her deep affection and the pain it brings. Phrases like 'Amarte duele tanto que no se que hacer' and 'Si el mundo no conspira, no se puede el amor' highlight the struggle between her desires and the external pressures that make the relationship painful. The mention of her partner's sister and the societal gaze ('Aunque la gente siga nuestros pasos') adds layers to the narrative, showcasing the external influences that complicate personal emotions and relationships.

The song is not just a lament but also a declaration of defiance and hope. Despite the pain, Sariñana's character is willing to 'escaparme a Marte y quererte,' indicating a readiness to defy norms and escape to a place where their love can flourish unimpeded. This blend of vulnerability and resilience makes 'Amarte Duele' a powerful exploration of love's complexities.
