Te Esperaba

Alejandra Guzmán's song 'Te Esperaba' is a touching ode to the anticipation and love a mother feels for her unborn child. The lyrics vividly describe the physical and emotional changes she experiences as she watches her body grow, symbolizing the deep connection she already feels with her baby. The imagery of the 'Luna llena' (full moon) and the reflection in the mirror highlights the beauty and wonder of pregnancy, capturing the essence of maternal joy and expectation.

The song delves into the dreams and hopes the mother has for her child. She imagines the color of their eyes and the sound of their voice, painting a picture of a future filled with love and possibilities. The line 'Le rogaba al cielo que te deje llegar lejos, mucho más que yo' (I prayed to heaven to let you go far, much farther than I) reveals her deep desire for her child to surpass her own achievements and find their own path in life. This sentiment is universal, resonating with many parents who wish for their children to have better opportunities and experiences.

'Yo te esperaba' also touches on the fears and uncertainties that come with parenthood. The mother is 'muerta de miedo' (dead with fear), yet she finds solace in preparing for her child's arrival, painting their room and counting down the days. The song beautifully captures the blend of anxiety and excitement that defines the journey to motherhood. Guzmán's heartfelt delivery and the poignant lyrics make 'Te Esperaba' a powerful tribute to the unconditional love and hope that parents have for their children.
