Tuve Ganas

El Perro's song 'Tuve Ganas' is a poignant exploration of unexpressed love and the pain of separation. The lyrics convey a deep sense of longing and regret, as the narrator repeatedly expresses a desire to shout their love for someone who is no longer present. This recurring theme of wanting to declare love but being unable to do so because the loved one is absent creates a powerful emotional resonance throughout the song.

The repetition of phrases like 'Tuve ganas de gritar que te amaba' (I had the urge to shout that I loved you) and 'Pero tu no estabas junto a mi' (But you were not with me) underscores the narrator's frustration and sorrow. The use of the past tense 'tuve ganas' (I had the urge) suggests that these feelings were intense and overwhelming, yet ultimately unfulfilled. This unfulfilled desire is further emphasized by the lines 'Te fuiste de mi.. Una tarde' (You left me one afternoon), highlighting the abrupt and painful nature of the separation.

The song also delves into the struggle of moving on from a lost love. The narrator's attempts to forget and move past their feelings are met with difficulty, as seen in the lines 'Intentare de olvidarte pero yo no puedo' (I will try to forget you but I can't). This struggle is compounded by the acknowledgment that the love still lingers, making it hard to let go. The emotional turmoil is palpable, making 'Tuve Ganas' a relatable and heartfelt expression of love and loss.
