Amor Artesanal Lyrics in English by Dalvin La Melodia
Artesanal translates to "artisanal" or "handmade." It's a beautiful word that evokes a sense of care, tradition, and authenticity, often associated with crafts made with skill and love.
In "Amor Artesanal," Dalvin La Melodia uses this word to describe a love that is slow, natural, and crafted with patience, much like a handmade item. He sings, "Quiero hacerte el amor despacio y natural / Sin relojes, sin palabras, de forma artesanal," suggesting a deep, unhurried connection built with genuine effort and heart, rather than something rushed or mass-produced. This unique metaphor makes the word particularly enticing.
The whole song is one comparison held for four minutes: sex as handwork. Dalvin asks for it the way a craftsman asks for time — "Quiero hacerte el amor como hacerte una manta" (I want to make love to you like making you a blanket), "Con hilos de paciencia y calor que nunca falta" (with threads of patience and warmth that never runs short). The chorus keeps taking things away until only the hands are left: "Sin relojes, sin palabras, de forma artesanal" (no clocks, no words, handmade).
The second verse moves from the workshop to the studio. Her body becomes the surface — "Tu cuerpo es el lienzo donde pinto mis deseo'" (your body is the canvas where I paint my desires) — and he signs it: "Como un artista que en tus curvas deja su trazo" (like an artist leaving his stroke on your curves). Between the verses he says the genre's name out loud, "La Bachata Volvió" (bachata is back), then hands the guitar to his player: "Suénala, Mikey, suénala" (play it, Mikey, play it). For a song about slowness, it is in a hurry to tell you what it is.
