Quiero

Álvaro de Luna's song 'Quiero' is a heartfelt ode to enduring love and the desire for a deep, lifelong connection. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and the struggle to move on from a significant other who is no longer present. The opening lines, 'Siento que se me escapa el aire / Que no puedo olvidarte / Que tú no estás aquí,' set the tone for the emotional journey that the song takes the listener on. The imagery of feeling breathless and unable to forget highlights the intensity of the emotions involved.

The song also explores the idea of resilience and commitment in the face of adversity. Lines like 'Cuando la guerra acabe / Y no quede ningún sastre / Que me cosa el alma a mí' suggest that even when everything falls apart, the desire to mend and heal remains strong. The recurring theme of dancing under the sun and losing control, 'Bailaremos bajo el Sol / Yo lo invoco / Perderemos el control,' symbolizes a carefree and passionate love that defies societal norms and expectations.

The chorus, 'Quiero que se me arrugue la cara / Que se me nuble la mirada / Quiero observarte de perfil / Contar lunares en tu espalda,' beautifully captures the essence of wanting to grow old with someone. The desire to witness the physical changes that come with aging and to cherish every small detail of the loved one underscores the depth of the emotional bond. The repetition of 'Porque quiero' emphasizes the singer's unwavering commitment and longing for this enduring relationship. Overall, 'Quiero' is a touching and poetic expression of love that transcends time and challenges.
