Dime Cómo Quieres (feat. Ángela Aguilar)

The song 'Dime Cómo Quieres' by Christian Nodal featuring Ángela Aguilar is a playful and charming take on the traditional courtship rituals, set against a backdrop of Mexican regional music. The lyrics depict a conversation between two individuals who are clearly interested in each other, but each has their reservations and conditions for how they want to be wooed. The song's title, which translates to 'Tell Me How You Want Me to Love You,' sets the stage for this back-and-forth exchange of romantic expectations.

From the outset, the male protagonist expresses his immediate attraction upon seeing the female character, describing the feeling as something beautiful yet indescribable. The female, however, is quick to assert that she is not easily won over by sweet words or typical romantic gestures. She distinguishes herself from other girls the male may have been involved with, indicating that she requires a different approach. The playful banter continues with the male offering traditional romantic gestures like bringing roses or serenading, only to be met with practical objections such as the flowers wilting or her father chasing him away.

The song's narrative is further complicated by the social pressures and opinions of friends and family, which add layers to the courtship. Despite the male's reassurances that he is not as bad as rumors suggest, and the female's insistence on not being fooled, there is a clear mutual attraction. The repeated chorus, 'Dime cómo quieres que te quiera,' emphasizes the desire for direction in how to proceed with their affection. The song captures the nuances of modern love while still paying homage to traditional Mexican courtship, all wrapped in the vibrant and emotive sounds of regional Mexican music.
