Amándote

Ana Gabriel's song 'Amándote' is a poignant exploration of love, regret, and longing. The lyrics convey a deep sense of sorrow and remorse from the perspective of someone who has lost their beloved due to their own mistakes. The singer reflects on the overwhelming love that remains with them, despite their inability to express it properly when they had the chance. This unexpressed love now manifests as a source of pain and regret, as they find themselves alone and yearning for the person they let go.

The recurring theme of regret is evident in lines like 'Estoy arrepentida, no supe lo que hacía' (I am regretful, I didn't know what I was doing) and 'Pensé que era más fácil olvidarte' (I thought it would be easier to forget you). These lines highlight the singer's realization of their mistake in underestimating the depth of their feelings and the difficulty of moving on. The metaphor of the sun setting sadly ('Y el Sol se pone triste') further emphasizes the melancholic tone of the song, suggesting that even nature mourns the loss of this love.

Ana Gabriel's powerful and emotive vocal delivery adds another layer of depth to the song, making the listener feel the weight of the singer's regret and longing. The repetition of the word 'amándote' (loving you) throughout the song underscores the persistent and unending nature of the singer's love, despite the separation. This song serves as a reminder of the importance of cherishing and expressing love before it's too late, and the enduring pain that can come from missed opportunities and unspoken emotions.
