Sólo El Amor Nos Salvará Lyrics in English by Aleks Syntek, Malú, Armando Ávila

Quimera translates to "chimera" or "illusion." It's a fascinating word derived from Greek mythology, referring to a mythical beast composed of parts of different animals, but also meaning an impossible or fanciful hope or dream.

In the song, Aleks Syntek uses it to describe a difficult situation: "Parecido a una quimera de la oscuridad" (Similar to a chimera of darkness). This suggests a complex, perhaps monstrous, and elusive problem that is hard to grasp or overcome, making it a unique and thought-provoking choice.

"Sólo El Amor Nos Salvará" ("Only Love Will Save Us") is Aleks Syntek's plea to hold onto a relationship shaking under its own weight. He opens scared and honest: "Tengo tanto miedo de perderte a ti" ("I'm so afraid of losing you"), naming the fear before anything else. The verses trace what's actually breaking them: "Y es que cuando estamos fuera de control / La confusión nos lleva a la nada" ("And it is that when we are out of control / Confusion leads us to nothingness"). He compares the damage to thorns that won't heal, and calls the rift between them "una quimera de la oscuridad" ("a chimera of darkness"), something half-imagined they have let grow too big.

Against that he sets one answer, repeated like a vow: "Sólo el amor nos salvará" ("Only love will save us"). He promises not to hurt her again, refuses to drift away, and pictures the two of them rising together: "Subir al cielo y nunca regresar" ("Climb to heaven and never return"), a total surrender to each other, "una entrega entrega total" ("a total, total surrender"). By the bridge he admits the fight is real, living through agony, trying to win the battle, forcing himself to grow through the punishment. Still the chorus keeps landing on the same conviction: whatever is wrong between them, love is the only thing strong enough to fix it.
