Quiero Estar

BRATTY's song 'Quiero Estar' is a heartfelt expression of youthful longing and romantic desire. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a young person yearning to be with their significant other, capturing the innocence and intensity of young love. The opening lines, 'Como quisiera ya estar en casa / Me pregunto, ¿tú dónde estarás?' set the tone for the song, revealing a deep sense of longing and curiosity about the whereabouts of the loved one. This longing is further emphasized by the desire to meet in a familiar, nostalgic place—the old park—highlighting the comfort and safety found in shared memories.

The song also touches on the complexities of young love, such as the fear of parental disapproval and the nervousness that comes with it. 'Sé que le tienes miedo a mi papá / Cuando estamos solos te noto sonrojar' reflects the common teenage experience of navigating relationships under the watchful eyes of parents. Despite these challenges, the narrator's desire to be close to their loved one remains strong, as seen in the lines 'Admite conmigo también quieres estar / Acurrucados bajo el árbol de Navidad.' This imagery of cuddling under the Christmas tree adds a layer of warmth and intimacy to the song, evoking a sense of cozy, festive togetherness.

The recurring theme of music and dancing, particularly with references to Juan Gabriel's songs, adds a cultural touch to the narrative. 'Las canciones de Juan Ga' podríamos bailar / Bajo las estrellas en el patio de tu mamá' not only highlights the romantic setting but also connects the couple through shared cultural experiences. The song concludes with a simple yet powerful declaration, 'Contigo quiero estar,' encapsulating the essence of the narrator's feelings. This repetition underscores the depth of their desire and the simplicity of their wish—to be with the one they love.
