It is hard for me to understand the concept that there is such a thing as a love song in the English language.

The other thing I don't get is the sapiness of these so-called love songs.

I tend to prefer the "romantic mood" of unrequited (or impossible) love.

BAJO UN PALMAR
Letra de P. Flores
Musica de P. Flores

Yo tuve un sueño feliz quise hacer una canción
y mi guitarra cogí puse todo el corazón
concentre pensando en ti...
volaron las palomas del milagro
escucha dulce bien lo que escribí.

Érase una playa de mi tierra tan querida a la orilla del mar
era que allí estaba celebrándose una gira
debajo de un palmar
era que estabas preciosa con el color de rosa
de tu traje sencillo y sin igual era que eras novia mía
y que yo te sentía nerviosa entre mis brazos suspirar

era que todo fue un sueño pero logre mi empeño
porque te pude besar...
Un sueño fue...¡ Sueño feliz.!

I can understand what Stanley is talking about, every time they sing about "love" in English, love almost always means S-E-X. Take "love" out of Beatles songs and there is nothing left. If you want real love songs play Charlie Za, Tito Rodriguez or the music of the old trios, los Panchos, Los Hispanos, San Juan.

Hi LatinDolphin,

Welcome! Good choice. My daughter is fond of Mariah as well. She had her poster up for some time.

Hi Stanley,

I am sure there are others with the same sentiments. In my mind, the songs sung in Spanish appear awfully romantic and sexier.

Those are really inspirational songs...

I definitely find Spanish way more romantic than English! I love Marc Anthony´s songs...
