Dime Si Tú Me Quieres Ver? - Part 2
Beny Jr
The Longing of a Forbidden Love
The song "Dime Si Tú Me Quieres Ver? - Part 2" by Beny Jr is a narrative of desire and yearning, wrapped in the complexities of a love that seems to be out of reach. The lyrics express the artist's feelings of frustration and impatience as he waits for a sign of affection from someone he is deeply attracted to. The repeated questioning, "Dime si tú me quieres ver" (Tell me if you want to see me), suggests a longing for confirmation and a desire to move beyond mere speculation into a more intimate connection.
Beny Jr's lyrics also touch on themes of identity and perception. He distances himself from being a mafioso or an entertainer, emphasizing that despite rumors or appearances, he is not involved in illicit activities. The mention of 'cinco cajas' (five boxes) without 'tocar un kilo' (touching a kilo) could be a metaphor for engaging in significant efforts without delving into anything illegal or immoral. This line serves to clarify his character to the object of his affection and to the listeners.
The song weaves a tale of unrequited love with the complexities of self-image and societal judgment. The artist's internal struggle is evident as he grapples with his feelings and the perception others may have of him. The repeated chorus asking for clarity on whether the relationship will progress reflects the uncertainty and the emotional turmoil of wanting someone who may be just out of reach, possibly due to external circumstances or the involvement of another person.
