Tengo Frio

Ely Guerra's song 'Tengo Frio' delves into the raw and often painful emotions that accompany vulnerability and longing. The recurring phrase 'Es que tengo frio a medio dia' (I am cold at midday) serves as a powerful metaphor for feeling emotionally exposed and fragile, even during times when one should feel warmth and comfort. This juxtaposition highlights the depth of the singer's emotional turmoil and the pervasive sense of fear and hurt that she carries with her.

The lyrics also explore the theme of seeking solace and connection amidst this vulnerability. The lines 'Si tengo miedo y si llevo alguna herida, la misma que me lleva a ti' (If I am afraid and if I carry a wound, the same one that brings me to you) suggest that the very wounds and fears that cause pain are also what drive the singer towards a desired connection. This duality of pain and longing is a central theme in the song, emphasizing the complex nature of human emotions and relationships.

The repetition of 'La idea es que vengas a mi' (The idea is that you come to me) underscores the singer's yearning for companionship and understanding. The mention of 'Lonely nights' further accentuates the isolation and desire for connection that permeates the song. Ely Guerra's evocative lyrics and haunting melody create a poignant portrayal of the struggle between fear and the need for emotional intimacy, making 'Tengo Frio' a deeply resonant and relatable piece for many listeners.
