Ojalà

Felipe Peláez's song 'Ojalà' is a heartfelt expression of longing and desire for a deep, meaningful connection with a loved one. The word 'ojalà' itself, which translates to 'I wish' or 'hopefully' in English, sets the tone for the entire song, encapsulating the singer's hopes and dreams for a romantic relationship. Peláez uses vivid imagery and metaphors to convey his emotions, wishing to be a small but significant part of his beloved's world, like a 'rinconcito de tu mundo' (a little corner of your world) or a 'gota de tu mar' (a drop in your sea). These metaphors highlight his desire to be intimately connected with the person he loves, even if it's in a seemingly insignificant way.

The lyrics also reflect a sense of vulnerability and fear of unrequited love. Peláez hopes that his beloved's fears won't prevent them from experiencing the love he has to offer. He dreams of a perfect love, one that he has envisioned in his dreams and does not want to wake up from. This dream is so powerful that he wishes for it to become a reality, where he can be the cause of his beloved's joy and faith, and ultimately, be loved in return.

The chorus amplifies this yearning, as Peláez imagines a scenario where his love is reciprocated. He envisions running and shouting his love from the rooftops, expressing his joy and relief at finally being with the person he has waited for so long. The repetition of phrases like 'de robarte un beso y un abrazo y una caricia' (to steal a kiss and a hug and a caress) emphasizes his deep desire for physical and emotional closeness. The song's passionate and romantic tone is further enhanced by the repetition of 'tu bello cuerpo me mata y tu boquita' (your beautiful body kills me and your little mouth), underscoring the intense attraction and affection he feels.
