Verse 1
Love after love, maybe
May look like this sunbeam
Verse 1
And now that I searched
And now that I found
Verse 1
The perfume that leads to pain
In the essence of the souls
In the absence of pain
Now I know that I can't
Live without your love
I got strong there
Where I never saw
Nobody can tell me who I am
I know it very well, I learned to love you
The perfume that leads to pain
In the essence of the souls
Every religion says that
For me that is love
After love
Love after love, maybe
May look like this sunbeam
And now that I searched
And now that I found
The perfume that leads to pain
In the essence of the souls
Every religion says that
For me that is love
After love
Nobody can and nobody should live, live without love
Nobody can and nobody should live, live without love
One key for one key
And that key is my love
One key for another key
And that key is your love
Love after love, maybe
Nobody can and nobody should live, live without love
And nobody can and nobody should live, live without love

SONG MEANING

Fito Páez, one of Argentina’s most beloved rock storytellers, sings about a powerful rebirth in El Amor Después del Amor. According to the lyrics, the love that comes after heartbreak feels like “a ray of sun”: warm, dazzling, and impossible to ignore. By searching through memories of pain — “the perfume that leads to sorrow” — the singer discovers a fresh, luminous connection that redefines who he is. This second-chance love turns past wounds into new strength, proving that we can rise brighter than before.

The chorus insists that “nobody can and nobody should live without love,” turning the song into an anthem for emotional resilience. Two metaphorical keys — my love and your love — unlock a shared future, reminding us that affection is not a luxury but a vital human need. In just a few verses, Páez captures the journey from loss to self-knowledge to radiant hope, encouraging listeners to believe that the best kind of love is often the one that arrives después del amor.
