Los Piratas Del Amor Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Jimmyzongo 

Cover art for Los Piratas Del Amor lyrics by Mecano

Two best friends who are playboys, living their merry lives conquering every woman like a fortress (morro) to be taken by pirates. They plunder and take what they want (i.e. sex) over and over, plotting their next conquest with abandon. In the end, they realize that lasting love cannot be captured without being conquered by it. The last verse "para agarrar, hay que soltar" is an old expression, meaning "to hold on, you have to let go."
