Piensalo Bien

In 'Piensalo Bien,' José Feliciano pours his heart out, expressing a deep and unwavering desire to be with the person he loves. The song's lyrics reveal a profound longing and a sense of devotion that transcends the adversities of the world. Feliciano's ambition in life is singular: to be with the one he loves, despite the challenges and obstacles that may stand in their way. This sentiment is beautifully encapsulated in the lines, 'La mayor ambición que yo tengo en la vida es estar junto a ti,' which translates to 'The greatest ambition I have in life is to be with you.'

The song delves into themes of unrequited love and the hope that one day, the object of his affection will notice him. Feliciano acknowledges the possibility that his love may never be reciprocated, yet he remains steadfast in his feelings. The repeated phrase, 'Es que mi sino será quererte siempre,' meaning 'It is my fate to always love you,' underscores his unwavering commitment. This sense of destiny and eternal love is a recurring motif in the song, highlighting the depth of his emotions.

Feliciano also touches on the idea of servitude in love, expressing a willingness to become a 'slave' to his beloved if she were to love him back. This metaphor of servitude is not meant to imply subjugation but rather a deep sense of devotion and readiness to do anything for the one he loves. The plea, 'Pero piénsalo bien si me vas a querer, solo mía serás,' or 'But think it over well if you are going to love me, you will be mine alone,' adds a layer of urgency and earnestness to his request, emphasizing the seriousness of his feelings and the exclusivity he desires in their relationship.
