Enamorado means "in love" or "enamored." While it might seem common, its use here is central to the song's narrative and emotional core.

Have you ever been so smitten you just can't get someone out of your head? That's exactly where Los Pescadores del Rio Conchos take us with "El Indio Enamorado." The singer is completely head-over-heels, wandering the streets of the town, just hoping for a glimpse of this woman. He's an "indio enamorado" [enamored Indian], feeling so sad because he hasn't seen her again.
He's dreaming of her eyes, her mouth, and her arms around his neck, saying "De mi mente mÃa no las puedo arrancar" [I can't tear them from my mind]. If he can't talk to her tonight or tomorrow, he's going crazy! "No hay remedio yo me estoy volviendo loco" [There's no remedy, I'm going crazy]. It's a sweet, slightly desperate tale of infatuation, where even his death stops for the pain of not seeing her eyes.
