Song Meaning of “Llego El Amor” by Maelo Ruiz
Llego El Amor is a bittersweet song about a broken relationship and the resurfacing of love in all its complicated forms. The lyrics reflect the longing of the narrator for someone they can’t identify, and how difficult it is to walk away from a relationship that has ended. The song speaks to how, after all the pain and loss, love is still strong enough to bring the narrator facing herself, and how that love can bring the power to heal. The music sets a gentle yet hopeful tone, with soft strings and piano in the background to evoke a sense of peace and understanding.
The chorus speaks of how love arrives, having been lost among all the chaos and confusion, and it brings with it a power to heal: “Llegó el amor y le llevó su libertad/ Llegó el amor y le puso su brazo para curar” (Love arrived and took its freedom, love arrived and put its arm around to heal). The music expresses the paradox of pain-filled memories, and how even that brings a sense of sweetness in the moment: “Los recuerdos una vez tristes, ahora ya son dulces como el caramelo” (Sad memories have now become like sweet candy).
