Te quiero, te pienso
Fabian Corrales
Unrequited Love and Persistent Longing in 'Te quiero, te pienso'
Fabian Corrales' song 'Te quiero, te pienso' delves into the depths of unrequited love and the persistent longing that accompanies it. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man deeply in love with a woman who is already committed to someone else. Despite knowing about her existing relationship, he cannot help but think about her constantly, from morning till night. This obsession is further fueled by the stories he hears from her friends, which only intensify his desire to win her over.
The chorus of the song is a heartfelt confession of his feelings. He openly declares his love, his thoughts, and his longing for her. The repetition of phrases like 'que te quiero, que te pienso, que te extraño' (I love you, I think of you, I miss you) emphasizes the depth of his emotions. He even goes as far as to say that he doesn't care about her current boyfriend, showing his desperation and willingness to do anything to be with her. His actions, such as sending letters and roses, go unanswered, yet he remains undeterred, believing that she might not be happy in her current relationship.
The song also touches on the fear of rejection. The protagonist is scared that she might not want to listen to him or that she hides from him when he tries to talk to her. Despite these fears, he remains hopeful and persistent, even willing to spend the night outside her window just to get a response. The lyrics convey a sense of romantic idealism, where he dreams of having her in his arms and believes that even a little bit of her love would be enough to drive him crazy with happiness. This blend of hope, fear, and unwavering love makes 'Te quiero, te pienso' a poignant exploration of unrequited love and the lengths one might go to in the name of love.
