Deseo

In 'Deseo,' Alex Campos crafts a poignant narrative about an enduring and omnipresent love. The lyrics convey a message of unwavering support and affection, even in the face of distance and emotional turmoil. The song opens with a declaration of steadfastness: 'Aunque te olvides de mi yo te sigo pensando' (Even if you forget me, I keep thinking of you). This line sets the tone for the rest of the song, emphasizing a love that persists regardless of the recipient's actions or feelings. The repetition of 'aunque' (even if) underscores the unconditional nature of this love, suggesting that it is not contingent on reciprocation or acknowledgment.

The song employs vivid metaphors to illustrate the depth and constancy of this love. Campos describes himself as 'la lluvia del campo' (the rain of the field) and 'el aroma del valle' (the scent of the valley), evoking images of nature's nurturing and life-giving forces. These metaphors suggest that the love he sings about is as essential and omnipresent as the natural elements, providing sustenance and comfort. The line 'Soy la risa de un niño el abrazo de un padre' (I am the laughter of a child, the embrace of a father) further humanizes this love, linking it to familial bonds and the purest forms of joy and security.

The chorus, 'Yo deseo estar ahí, en tu día en tu existir' (I desire to be there, in your day, in your existence), encapsulates the song's central theme. It expresses a longing to be an integral part of the loved one's life, to share in their daily experiences and to be a constant source of support and affection. This desire is not just about physical presence but also about emotional and spiritual connection, as indicated by the line 'En tu corazón vivir y que sientas mi latir' (To live in your heart and for you to feel my heartbeat). The song ultimately portrays a love that is all-encompassing, enduring, and deeply rooted in the essence of life itself.
