Motor Y Motivo

The song 'Motor Y Motivo' by Mario Pereyra Y Su Banda is a passionate declaration of love and devotion. The lyrics express the singer's deep affection and the transformative impact that the object of his love has had on his life. The title itself, which translates to 'Engine and Reason,' suggests that the beloved is both the driving force and the purpose behind the singer's existence. The repeated phrase 'La luz de mis ojos aire que respiro' (The light of my eyes, the air that I breathe) emphasizes the idea that the beloved is essential to the singer's very survival, as fundamental as light and air.

The song's lyrics also convey a sense of overwhelming infatuation, with lines like 'solo con mirarte me has echo cautivo' (just by looking at you, you have made me captive) and 'a primera vista me enamoraste' (you made me fall in love at first sight). The singer feels completely consumed by his feelings, stating that the beloved occupies '90%' of his mind and that he is utterly dependent on them, much like a plant depends on the earth. This metaphor highlights the natural and necessary connection he feels towards his love.

The intensity of the singer's emotions is further illustrated by his willingness to give everything he has to the beloved, including his life, sincerity, soul, and dreams. The repeated declaration 'te amo, te amooooo!' (I love you, I love youuuu!) serves as a powerful climax to the song, showcasing the depth of his commitment and the joy he finds in proclaiming his love to the world. The song is a celebration of love's power to captivate and inspire, making it a heartfelt anthem for anyone who has experienced love's all-consuming nature.
