Si Quieres Amor Lyrics in English by Jay Wheeler, DJ Nelson

Chanza translates to 'chance' or 'risk', but it's not an everyday word you hear in every song. It carries a slightly more informal and intriguing nuance than just 'oportunidad'.

In the context of the song, Jay Wheeler sings, "Si tú quieres correr la chanza" (If you want to take the chance/risk). He uses it to emphasize the inherent risks and vulnerabilities involved in pursuing love, making it a compelling word that invites listeners to consider the deeper meaning of commitment and potential heartbreak.

Jay Wheeler isn't playing around with love in this song. He's basically giving a masterclass on what real love is, and it sounds like he learned it the hard way. He starts by telling someone, "Hablas de amor como si tú supieras" (You talk about love as if you knew), making it clear he's seen the bad side. The song is a big warning sign: be careful who you trust because "No todos tienen buenas intenciones" (Not everyone has good intentions) and some people will leave without any explanation at all.

So what's the solution? According to Jay Wheeler, if you want real love, it has to be more than just physical. He's very direct about this: "Si quieres amor, tienen que amarse fuera de la cama" (If you want love, you have to love each other outside of bed). He sees love as a balance where the first person to get tired loses. The most important rule seems to be knowing your own value. He repeats it like a mantra: "Tienes que saber lo que mereces" (You have to know what you deserve), even when love hurts.
