Cómo Te Digo

Diego Ojeda's song 'Cómo Te Digo' is a heartfelt exploration of love, longing, and the complexities of human connection. The lyrics convey a deep sense of vulnerability and honesty, as the narrator grapples with the challenge of expressing his true feelings. The opening lines, 'No creas que te miento si digo la verdad / No le pongas candados a tu soledad,' set the tone for a candid confession, urging the listener not to lock away their loneliness but to embrace the truth of their emotions.

The song delves into the theme of distance and the pain it brings, with lines like 'Ya sé que vivo lejos y que hablo de más / Pero eso se corrige si me abrazas ya.' Here, Ojeda acknowledges the physical separation and his tendency to overtalk, but he believes that a simple embrace can bridge the gap. This sentiment is further emphasized in the chorus, where he declares, 'Cómo te digo / Que desde el día en que te vi yo tengo escrito / Un parasiempre de mi boca hasta tu ombligo.' The imagery of a 'parasiempre' (forever) from his mouth to her navel symbolizes an unbreakable bond, a connection that transcends physical distance.

Ojeda also touches on the idea of unappreciated beauty and poetry in one's existence, lamenting how others failed to see the poetry in the beloved's walk. This adds a layer of admiration and reverence to the song, highlighting the narrator's deep appreciation for the beloved's unique qualities. The repeated refrain, 'Cómo te digo,' underscores the difficulty of articulating such profound emotions, making the song a poignant reflection on the struggle to communicate love and the hope for a future together, even if it means learning to be friends and facing the unknown without fear.
