Me Gustas

Cherri's song "Me Gustas" is a delightful exploration of the unexpected and uncontrollable nature of falling in love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is caught off guard by their feelings, unable to control their emotions or actions. The protagonist describes how they usually go through life without truly engaging, merely looking without seeing, and doing things without really doing them. This changes when they meet someone who makes them feel something entirely new and exhilarating, leading them to compose a song about their newfound emotions.

The chorus, with its repeated exclamations of "¡Me gustas!" ("I like you!"), captures the spontaneous and almost accidental nature of their affection. The comparison to "pan con mantequilla" ("bread with butter") adds a layer of simplicity and comfort to their feelings, suggesting that this love, while unexpected, feels natural and essential. The protagonist's plea for the person not to leave their life underscores the depth of their newfound happiness and the fear of losing it.

Throughout the song, there is a sense of wonder and disbelief at the intensity of these emotions. The protagonist likens their feelings to a new disease, something they've never experienced before, yet it brings them immense joy. This juxtaposition of fear and happiness highlights the complexity of love and how it can transform one's life in unexpected ways. Cherri's playful and heartfelt lyrics, combined with the catchy melody, make "Me Gustas" a celebration of the beautiful chaos that love can bring into our lives.
