Te Deseo

El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico's song 'Te Deseo' is a heartfelt expression of longing and unfulfilled love. The lyrics convey the narrator's deep desire for someone they cannot have, creating a sense of yearning that permeates every moment of their life. The song opens with the narrator confessing that they think about the object of their affection constantly and are unhappy because they are not together. This sets the stage for a narrative of unrequited love, where the narrator wishes they had met this person first to be their partner.

The chorus emphasizes the intensity of the narrator's feelings, as they express a desire to be with this person 24 hours a day. The repetition of 'te deseo' (I desire you) underscores the obsessive nature of their longing. The lyrics also reveal a sense of disbelief that the person they desire does not feel the same way, as the narrator notices the lies in their eyes. Despite this, the narrator remains hopeful and wants to enjoy the moment with them, highlighting a willingness to seize any opportunity to be close to their beloved.

Throughout the song, the narrator's obsession is evident. They admit that they cannot stop thinking about this person, whether they are at home, at a dance, or at the beach. This obsession controls their actions and thoughts, making it clear that their desire is all-consuming. The song's melody and rhythm, typical of El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico's salsa style, add to the emotional intensity, making 'Te Deseo' a powerful portrayal of passionate yearning and the complexities of unrequited love.
