Prefiero

In 'Prefiero,' Alex Campos crafts a heartfelt declaration of faith and devotion. The song opens with vivid imagery of the natural world—'Nace el cielo nace el sol' (The sky is born, the sun is born)—setting a serene yet powerful backdrop. This imagery contrasts with the internal emptiness the singer feels without the warmth of divine love, emphasizing the importance of spiritual connection. The lyrics 'Que me enloquece y que me incita' (That drives me crazy and incites me) suggest a passionate longing for this divine presence, which fills the singer's dreams and offers eternal love, even amidst life's storms.

The chorus serves as a proclamation of unwavering faith: 'Hoy proclamo su grandeza, solo vivo para él' (Today I proclaim His greatness, I only live for Him). This line underscores the singer's complete dedication to God, a theme that resonates throughout the song. The repetition of 'Aunque digan lo que digan, yo nunca me apartaré' (No matter what they say, I will never turn away) highlights the singer's steadfastness in the face of external opinions and societal pressures. This unwavering commitment is further emphasized by the line 'Miro el cielo y miro el mundo, y prefiero estar con él' (I look at the sky and I look at the world, and I prefer to be with Him), illustrating a conscious choice to prioritize spiritual over worldly matters.

The song also touches on themes of redemption and transformation. 'Fue su sangre fue su amor, La que en mi vida perdonó de la maldad' (It was His blood, it was His love, that forgave the evil in my life) speaks to the transformative power of divine love and forgiveness. The singer acknowledges that their life is no longer their own, but rather a vessel for divine will: 'Ya no vivo yo, ahora vive él en mi' (I no longer live, now He lives in me). This surrender to a higher power is both a personal and spiritual decision, encapsulated in the plea 'dame el cielo dame el sol oh Dios' (give me the sky, give me the sun, oh God), symbolizing a desire for divine guidance and enlightenment.
