Hay Amores Que Matan Lyrics in English by Jaguares
Resucita comes from the verb resucitar, meaning "to resurrect" or "to bring back to life". It's a strong, dramatic word often associated with profound spiritual or transformative events.
In the context of "Hay Amores Que Matan" (There Are Loves That Kill), the song contrasts destructive loves with a love that resucita. While some loves are lethal, the singer's love has the power to revive and overcome death, making it a powerful and hopeful counterpoint to the song's darker themes.
Jaguares open this song with a list of ways love can go wrong before they ever get to the one that matters. "Hay amores que esconden un suicidio" ("There are loves that hide a suicide") sits right next to "Hay amores que elevan a los santos" ("There are loves that elevate the saints") — the range runs from destructive to almost holy in eight lines, and none of them is the point yet. The point arrives with "Pero hay uno que es letal y es el tuyo" ("But there's one that's lethal and it's yours"): after all that cataloging, the singer names the one love he's actually singing about.
The chorus repeats the accusation twice — "Hay amores que matan" ("There are loves that kill"), "Ay amor el tuyo mata" ("Oh love, yours kills") — like he can't say it only once and have it land. What keeps this from being a straight breakup song is the answer he gives himself: "Pero el mío amor resucita" ("But mine, love, resurrects"). He's not claiming to be unharmed, just harder to finish off. By the later verses he's already naming what comes after the damage — loves "que perdonan a su judas" ("that forgive their Judas") and "que reviven y caminan" ("that revive and walk") — so the song ends less like a wound than like someone describing how he's still standing.
