Amar Y Querer Lyrics in English Cristian Castro
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Amar Y Querer by Cristian Castro from Spanish to English.
Casi todos sabemos querer
Almost everyone knows how to like
Pero pocos sabemos amar
But few know how to love
Y es que amar y querer no es igual
And it's that loving and liking aren't the same
Amar es sufrir, querer es gozar
To love is to suffer, to like is to enjoy
El que ama pretende servir
The one who loves seeks to serve
El que ama su vida la da
The one who loves gives their life
Y el que quiere pretende vivir
And the one who likes seeks to live
Y nunca sufrir, y nunca sufrir
And never suffer, and never suffer
El que ama no puede pensar
The one who loves cannot think
Todo lo da, todo lo da
Gives everything, gives everything
El que quiere pretende olvidar
The one who likes seeks to forget
Y nunca llorar y nunca llorar
And never cry and never cry
El querer pronto puede acabar
Liking can soon end
El amor no conoce el final
Love doesn't know the end
Es que todos sabemos querer
It's that we all know how to like
Pero pocos sabemos amar
But few know how to love
El amar es la cielo y la luz
Loving is the sky and the light
El amar es total plenitud
Loving is total plenitude
Es el mar que no tiene final
It's the sea that has no end
Es la gloria y la paz
It's the glory and the peace
Es la gloria y la paz
it's the glory and the peace
El querer es la carne y la flor
Liking is the flesh and the flower
Es buscar el obscuro rincón
It's seeking the dark corner
Es morder, arañar y besar
It's to bite, scratch, and kiss
Es deseo fugaz, es deseo fugaz
It's fleeting desire, it's fleeting desire
El que ama no puede pensar
The one who loves cannot think
Todo lo da, todo lo da
Gives everything, gives everything
El que quiere pretende olvidar
The one who likes seeks to forget
Y nunca llorar y nunca llorar
And never cry and never cry
El querer pronto puede acabar
Liking can soon end
El amor no conoce el final
Love doesn't know the end
Es que todos sabemos querer

El que ama no puede pensar
The one who loves cannot think
Todo lo da, todo lo da
Gives everything, gives everything
El que quiere pretende olvidar
The one who likes seeks to forget
Y nunca llorar y nunca llorar
And never cry and never cry
El querer pronto puede acabar

El amor no conoce el final

Did you like this lyrics translation?
plenitud — fullness / completeness
Plenitud translates to "fullness" or "completeness." It's a beautiful and somewhat formal word that evokes a sense of absolute fulfillment and wholeness.
In "Amar Y Querer," the song contrasts the fleeting nature of "querer" (to want/like) with the profound depth of "amar" (to love). The lyrics state, "El amar es total plenitud," meaning "To love is total completeness." This word perfectly encapsulates the idea that true love brings an unparalleled sense of peace and absolute satisfaction, making it a powerful and memorable choice.
