Trovador translates to "troubadour," a medieval poet-musician who composed and sang songs, often about courtly love. It's a romantic and somewhat archaic word that evokes a sense of classic romance and storytelling.
In the context of "Enamorado," the singer describes himself as a trovador who sang to his beloved "desde la luna" (from the moon). This choice of word elevates the singer's devotion to a timeless, poetic gesture, making it a unique and memorable way to express profound love.
Il Divo builds "Enamorado" ["In love"] around one repeated claim: nobody has loved this woman more than the singer does. He casts himself as a troubadour who serenaded her "Desde la luna" ["from the moon"], then says he searched for her "Por cielo y mar" ["by sky and sea"] and "Al fin del mundo" ["to the end of the world"]. It's romantic devotion turned up past what any real relationship needs, which is the whole idea of a song with this title.
What keeps it from tipping into cliche is the honesty tucked inside the exaggeration. "Ni te enteraste nunca" ["You never even found out"] admits she may never have noticed any of it, and by the end he's asking for far less than he started with: "Sin conseguir" ["without succeeding"], "Y ser tu amigo" ["and to be your friend"]. The grand gestures were never really about winning her back. They were about how far he was willing to go.
Il Divo is a classical crossover vocal group that formed in the United Kingdom. They bring together four male singers who perform popular songs with an operatic approach, often singing in multiple languages, including Spanish.
Their sound is grand and dramatic, taking well-known tracks and giving them a powerful, sweeping quality. Some of their memorable performances include "Regresa a mí" (Unbreak My Heart) and "Hasta Mi Final".
