TE KIERO
Broke Carrey
A Love That Transcends Life and Death
Broke Carrey's song "TE KIERO" is a heartfelt declaration of love that transcends the boundaries of life and death. The lyrics convey a deep emotional connection and a sense of dependency on the presence of a loved one. The repeated phrase "Y es que, wacha, yo te quiero" (And it's because, girl, I love you) emphasizes the intensity of the artist's feelings. The use of the term "wacha," a colloquial term for a girl, adds a personal and intimate touch to the song, making it feel like a direct conversation with the beloved.
The song explores themes of mortality and the fear of dying alone. The artist expresses a desire to have his loved one by his side, even in death, as seen in the lines "Y no me quiero morir sin vos" (And I don't want to die without you). This sentiment is further reinforced by the imagery of a funeral, where the artist's friends are dancing, symbolizing a celebration of life and the fulfillment of his desires. The mention of being lost in "mares de vino" (seas of wine) searching for love suggests a journey through life's pleasures and pains, ultimately seeking the solace of a meaningful relationship.
The lyrics also touch on the inevitability of loss and the passage of time. The lines "To' los días son días de luto" (Every day is a day of mourning) and "Otro árbol que no da más fruto'" (Another tree that bears no more fruit) reflect a sense of resignation and acceptance of life's transient nature. Despite this, the artist's love remains unwavering, as he declares his love as his "última cena" (last supper), a powerful metaphor for the final and most important act of his life. This metaphor not only highlights the depth of his love but also evokes religious imagery, suggesting a sacrificial and eternal aspect to his feelings.
