Verse 1
I didn't go out to get lost, I just wanted to stop
In the middle of the people, you appear suddenly
I wasn't looking for you, don't ask because that hurts
And I keep remembering that with you it's dancing
Chorus 1
Oh love, what happened
The floor shakes and I shake, my heart
Oh love, what happened
The floor shakes and I shake, it was an illusion
Oh love
Verse 2
You walk in my stories, even though I don't believe in luck
Images of oblivion, dark side, still I want to see you
I wasn't looking for you, don't ask because that hurts
And I keep remembering that with you it's dancing
Chorus 2
Oh love, what happened
The floor shakes and I shake, from the heart
Oh love, what happened
The floor shakes and I shake, it was an illusion
Oh love, what happened
The floor shakes and I shake, it was an illusion
Oh love
Outro
Oh love, life of my love
Oh love, everything moved
Oh love

SONG MEANING

Imagine stepping onto a lively dance floor, only to feel the whole world pause when one unexpected face appears. In “Ay Amor,” Colombian singer Fonseca captures that electrifying moment when love ambushes you in the middle of everyday life. The narrator was never out searching for romance, yet the instant he locks eyes with someone special, the music, the crowd, and even the ground itself seem to shake. Each “¡Ay, amor!” is a delighted gasp that mixes excitement with disbelief — he cannot help remembering that with this person, everything turns into a dance.

But there is a bittersweet twist. As quickly as this pulse-racing connection arrives, the singer wonders if it might be just an illusion. He pictures the person wandering through his dreams and stories, even though he claims not to believe in luck. The song swings between hope and hesitation, joy and uncertainty, all set to Fonseca’s infectious tropical-pop beat. In short, “Ay Amor” celebrates the thrill of love at first sight, while admitting that such magic can vanish as suddenly as it appears — leaving nothing but trembling hearts and unforgettable memories on the dance floor.
