Lo Que Tú Quieras
Anibal Marroquín
A Journey of Faith and Surrender in 'Lo Que Tú Quieras'
Anibal Marroquín's song 'Lo Que Tú Quieras' is a heartfelt narrative of transformation and surrender. The lyrics recount the artist's journey from a rebellious adolescence to a profound spiritual awakening. In the first verse, Marroquín reflects on his younger years, marked by defiance and a desire to follow his own will. He describes the frustration of being constantly told what to do and his resistance to listening to advice, which many can relate to during their formative years.
The turning point in the song comes with the introduction of a divine voice, symbolizing Jesus. This voice represents a guiding force that Marroquín eventually chooses to follow. The chorus, 'Todo lo que tú quieras lo haré, porque la vida no me pertenece,' translates to 'I will do everything you want because my life does not belong to me.' This line signifies a complete surrender to a higher power, acknowledging that his life is now guided by faith rather than his own desires. The repetition of 'No vivo yo, tú vives en mí' ('I do not live, you live in me') emphasizes the depth of this spiritual transformation.
The second verse delves deeper into Marroquín's initial skepticism about faith. He admits to ignoring the divine call multiple times until he reached a point of desperation. This moment of crisis led him to embrace his faith wholeheartedly, likening his newfound devotion to that of a lover's passion. The song's recurring theme of walking and overcoming ('Caminaré y venceré') suggests that with faith, he believes he can face and conquer any challenges that come his way. 'Lo Que Tú Quieras' is a powerful testament to the transformative power of faith and the peace that comes with surrendering to a higher purpose.
