Amor de mis amores literally translates to "love of my loves". It's a classic and deeply passionate Spanish phrase used to express that someone is your one true love, the greatest love you've ever known.
In this beautiful song, the singer uses this ultimate term of endearment to declare that their partner is not just a love, but the love, surpassing all others. It’s one of the most romantic and poetic expressions you can learn in Spanish!
Mexican singer Natalia Lafourcade teams up with Devendra Banhart for a breezy, infectious duet that lays all its romantic cards right on the table. The song kicks off with the ultimate gesture of honesty: "Poniendo la mano en el corazón" ("Putting my hand on my heart"). From there, the declarations get completely unapologetic and overwhelming. She tells her partner that they are her entire sky, her comfort, and that she literally breathes the same air they breathe: "Que respiro el aire que respiras tú" ("That I breathe the air that you breathe"). It is sweet, dramatic, and intensely devoted.
There is also a playful touch of fate tucked into the romance. Lafourcade repeats "no tienes remedio" ("you have no cure" / "you can't be helped"), teasing that this connection is so total that neither of them can escape it. By the time the chorus explodes with "Amor de mis amores" ("Love of all my loves") and calls the lover "Sangre de mi alma" ("Blood of my soul"), the track transforms a classic bolero sentiment into a bright pop-rock groove that makes overwhelming devotion sound effortless and fun.
