JuntarĂa is the conditional form of the verb juntar, meaning "to join" or "to bring together". It translates to "I would join".
In this passionate song, Enrique Iglesias uses it to create a powerful and impossible image. He sings, "Por amarte juntarĂa la lluvia con el fuego" (For loving you, I would join the rain with the fire), expressing that he would do anything, even defy the laws of nature, for the one he loves.
Enrique Iglesias's "Por Amarte" is a full-on, passionate declaration of what it means to be completely in love. He starts by trying to define it, saying that real love isn't something that just "viene y va" (comes and goes), but something that happens only once. He describes it through small, relatable feelings, like when you can't stop thinking about where someone is, or when you see them and get nervous. For him, love is when you hug someone and forget about time, and when you finally realize that person "lo es todo" (is everything).
Then the chorus hits, and things get seriously dramatic! He makes a series of huge, impossible promises to prove his love. He says, "Por amarte robarĂa una estrella y te la regalarĂa" (To love you I'd steal a star and give it to you) and that he would cross oceans just for a hug. He even claims he would join rain and fire and give his life for a single kiss. It's incredibly over-the-top and romantic, a perfect example of a classic, heart-on-your-sleeve pop ballad.
Enrique Iglesias shopped his first demos around Madrid under the name Enrique MartĂnez, so that no label would sign him for being Julio Iglesias's son. Fonovisa signed him anyway and flew him to Toronto, where he recorded Enrique Iglesias (1995) in near anonymity. All five of its singles, "Si TĂş Te Vas" and "Experiencia Religiosa" among them, reached number one on Billboard's Latin chart, and the album won the 1997 Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album.
Enrique (1999) moved him onto English-language radio, with "Bailamos" and "Be with You" both topping the Hot 100, and Escape (2001) sold past eight million copies on the back of "Hero". The chart he owns outright is Hot Latin Songs: 27 number ones, more than any other artist, plus the two longest runs at the top in its history, "Bailando" with Descemer Bueno and Gente de Zona at 41 weeks in 2014 and "El PerdĂłn" with Nicky Jam at 30 weeks in 2015. He wound the recording career down on his own terms, calling Final (Vol. 1) in 2021 and Final (Vol. 2) in 2024 his last albums.
