Song Meaning of “Prefiero Ser Su Amante” by María José
The song “Prefiero Ser Su Amante” is about a woman who is in a complicated relationship, trying to make sense of her feelings and determine where the relationship should go. She is in love with someone who is not ready to commit and she can’t help but serve her own desires to be with him. Although she simultaneously loves the excitement of not being tied down, she cannot deny her real emotions. She wants to give him her heart and give him a place in her life, but only if he is ready and willing to give her back the same love she is offering.
The chorus echoes this sentiment of uncertainty, as the woman expresses her worry that this uncertain relationship may lead to her own downfall. With lyrics like “yo nunca pude resistirme a tu sombra” and “puedo ser tu alegría y tu dolor”, the woman conveys that she may be too giving in this situation and allowing herself to fall too deeply when her partner may not want to go that far. With a delicate combination of beauty and trepidation, María José vividly captures the complicated emotions that come with being in love when there is no commitment.
