Simplemente

Ambiorix Padilla's song 'Simplemente' is a heartfelt expression of a person's relationship with the divine, exploring themes of unworthiness, grace, and the inescapable nature of God's love. The lyrics convey a sense of humility and the struggle of the singer who feels undeserving of such pure affection. The repeated attempts to distance oneself from God due to a feeling of inadequacy highlight a common human experience of feeling unworthy of love, especially divine love, which is often perceived as perfect and unconditional.

The chorus, 'Simplemente te antojaste de mi,' which translates to 'You simply took a fancy to me,' reflects the idea that God's love is not based on merit but is a freely given gift. The singer acknowledges that despite their flaws and attempts to run away, God's presence is constant and his love is unwavering. This recognition leads to a surrender to the divine, accepting that God's grace is what enables them to worship and be part of something greater than themselves.

The song also touches on the human tendency to chase personal dreams and desires, often leading away from spiritual paths. However, the lyrics suggest that no matter how far one strays, the divine is always close by, ready to welcome back with open arms. The message is one of hope and reassurance that despite our weaknesses and failures, we are loved 'simplemente'—simply, just as we are, by a force much greater than ourselves.
