Quiero ser

Camila's song 'Quiero ser' is a poignant exploration of longing and the desire for a deeper, more permanent connection with a loved one. The lyrics convey a sense of solitude and sadness, as the protagonist finds himself alone and yearning for the return of his beloved. This emotional state is vividly depicted through lines like 'Me encuentro solo y triste / Sin tu amor...' which translate to 'I find myself alone and sad / Without your love...'. The repetition of waiting for the loved one's return and their affectionate gestures underscores the depth of his longing and the void left by their absence.

The chorus, 'Quiero ser... / Algo mas que un instante. / Algo mas que un recuerdo. / Yo... para ti...' translates to 'I want to be... / Something more than a moment. / Something more than a memory. / Me... for you...'. This reveals the protagonist's desire to transcend fleeting moments and memories, aspiring to become an integral and enduring part of his beloved's life. The use of metaphors like 'atrapados en un lazo / De amor...' ('trapped in a bond / Of love...') further emphasizes the deep emotional connection and the hope for an unbreakable bond.

The song also touches on the bittersweet reality of unfulfilled love. Despite the protagonist's dreams and desires, he acknowledges the physical absence of his beloved with lines like 'Y yo se... / Que no estas junto a mi. / Pero nunca te iras. / Por que eres parte de mi corazon... amor...' ('And I know... / That you are not with me. / But you will never leave. / Because you are part of my heart... love...'). This acceptance of the beloved's absence, coupled with the unwavering hope for their return, encapsulates the essence of enduring love and the emotional resilience that comes with it.

'Quiero ser' by Camila is a heartfelt ballad that delves into themes of longing, love, and the desire for a lasting connection. The song's emotional depth and lyrical beauty make it a resonant piece for anyone who has experienced the pangs of love and separation.
