Tramposo Amor

The song "Tramposo Amor" by Difuntos Correa, a Chilean rock band, delves into the complexities of a love that is both deceitful and consuming. The lyrics paint a picture of someone caught in the relentless cycle of a love that is no longer present but still deeply felt. The repeated metaphor of going 'round and round like a noria' (a water wheel) suggests a sense of being trapped in a cycle of emotions, unable to move forward or escape the memories of a past relationship.

The juxtaposition of tenderness and savagery, sweetness and bitterness, throughout the song captures the dual nature of the singer's feelings. Love is portrayed as something that can be both beautiful and painful, a source of deep connection and profound loneliness. The distance mentioned in the song could be both physical and emotional, highlighting the pain of separation and the longing for a lost love. The repeated phrase 'Cuánto dolor' (How much pain) emphasizes the heartache that lingers.

The use of the word 'tramposo' (deceitful or cheating) to describe love suggests a betrayal or a sense of disillusionment. The singer's struggle with the reality of the situation is evident in the lines expressing a desire to have the loved one close and the disbelief that the separation is real. The silence and slow passage of time mentioned in the song further illustrate the emptiness and slow healing process after the end of a significant relationship.
