A Love of One Day, and Overflowing Tears — Gipsy Kings “Amor D’un Dia”

The sorrow hidden beneath the lightness

There is a song by the Gipsy Kings called “Amor D’un Dia”.
Literally translated, it means “Love of One Day”.
It is included on the album “Love & Liberté,” and despite its light rhythm, it is helplessly sorrowful.

What is conveyed even without knowing the lyrics

I have loved this song ever since I listened to it without knowing the lyrics.
The resonance of the voices and the melody of the guitars alone allow scenes and emotions to flow into my heart. It is a feeling like a summer twilight—a little warm, yet one that makes the depths of my heart ache.

The fleeting story depicted by the lyrics

When you know the lyrics, that sorrow deepens even further.
“I gave you the love from the depths of my life”
Even though it is a love of only one day, pouring one's whole heart and soul into it, only to face a parting—such a story is condensed into a few minutes of music.

The reason for the tears

The reason tears overflow every time I listen is not just because of sadness.
It is surely because the affection for a time that can never return is mixed in there.
