Lo Nuestro

In 'Lo Nuestro,' Juanes delves into the complexities and enduring nature of true love. The song acknowledges that not everything in a relationship is perfect, but it emphasizes that the good moments outweigh the bad. This sentiment is captured in the lines, 'Todo no ha sido perfecto en lo nuestro, pero han sido más los buenos momentos de lo nuestro,' which translates to 'Everything hasn't been perfect in our relationship, but there have been more good moments than bad.' This sets the tone for a reflective and hopeful narrative about love's resilience.

Juanes uses vivid metaphors to illustrate the cyclical nature of love and life. He sings, 'Cuando el amor se aleja, como todo vuelve, las olas al mar, el afán a la calma,' meaning 'When love goes away, like everything returns, the waves to the sea, the eagerness to calm.' This imagery suggests that love, like the tides, has its ebbs and flows but ultimately returns to its source. The song also touches on the idea of learning and patience in love, as seen in the lines, 'Así es el amor de verdad, te enseña y es capaz de esperar,' or 'This is true love, it teaches you and is capable of waiting.'

The chorus reinforces the commitment to enduring love despite past hardships. Juanes reassures his partner that he won't leave her for a fleeting romance, describing her as 'el amor más bello y natural que tengo,' or 'the most beautiful and natural love I have.' He urges her to forget the painful past and start anew, emphasizing the importance of moving forward together. This message of renewal and unwavering commitment is a testament to the strength and beauty of true love, making 'Lo Nuestro' a heartfelt ode to enduring relationships.
