Gloria Estefan, the Cuban-American queen of Latin pop, uses Mi Buen Amor to celebrate a rare and precious kind of romance. She compares many kinds of love—brief sparks, prickly roses, dry deserts, dizzying abysses—and then singles out one shining exception: “un amor de los buenos,” a good love like the one she shares with her partner.
Throughout the song, Estefan showers this love with vivid images. It is an ocean that quenches her thirst, a safe harbor where she can finally rest, and a midday sun that chases away every shadow. Even if years pass and pain creeps in, she insists that the joy found in her lover’s arms must never be forgotten. The result is both a grateful love letter and a heartfelt plea to keep the memory of that transforming affection alive.
