Canta Corazón

Alejandro Fernández's 'Canta Corazón' is a passionate ballad that delves into the themes of love, longing, and the certainty of a lover's return. The song's title, which translates to 'Sing, Heart,' serves as a plea for the heart to express the joy and anticipation of a beloved's return. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been waiting for this moment, holding onto the memories and the hope that the one he loves will come back to be happy with him.

The song's narrative unfolds with the singer recounting the actions he took while waiting for his love—dreaming of her laughter, passing by her house, and writing letters filled with words inspired by their past affection. The repetition of the phrase 'Te lo dije cantando, te lo dije de frente' ('I told you singing, I told you face to face') emphasizes the singer's confidence in his prediction that his love would inevitably return, unable to start her days without his kisses or remove him from her life and mind. This refrain conveys a sense of vindication and the fulfillment of a prophecy foretold through song.

The metaphorical language comparing the couple to 'abril y marzo' (April and March) and 'la luna y el sol' (the moon and the sun) illustrates the natural and inevitable connection between them, despite their differences or the time spent apart. Fernández's emotive delivery and the rich musical arrangement typical of Latin ballads add depth to the song's message, making 'Canta Corazón' a resonant piece about the enduring power of love and the belief in its triumphant return.
