Amor y Dolor (VIAJEMOS EN EL TIEMPO #6) (part. Carlos Baute y Agus Bernasconi)

In "Amor y Dolor," Max Carra, featuring Carlos Baute and Agus Bernasconi, delves into the complex emotions that accompany love and heartbreak. The song captures the struggle of trying to forget someone who remains a constant presence in one's thoughts. The lyrics express a sense of helplessness, as the protagonist acknowledges that falling in love was never a choice, yet the feelings persist, leading to a cycle of love and pain.

The song paints a vivid picture of a relationship where one partner seems to hold all the power, often being right even when they are not. This imbalance is highlighted by the metaphor of seeking a lawyer to reclaim what is owed emotionally. The protagonist's plea to be released from this emotional turmoil is a cry for freedom, a desire to escape the pain that love has brought. Despite the heartache, there is a sense of resilience, as the protagonist vows not to cry or be swayed by the absence of affection.

Max Carra's lyrics also touch on the disillusionment with love, as the protagonist declares themselves an "anti-romance atheist," rejecting the traditional narratives of love and romance. This sentiment is reinforced by the reference to Cupid and the dismissal of romantic tales like that of Romeo. The song ultimately portrays a journey of self-discovery and acceptance, where the protagonist decides to live with both love and pain, acknowledging that they are intertwined and unavoidable aspects of life.
