This phrase highlights the intensity of his desire and the essential nature of their bond.

José José's lyrics also touch on the transformative power of love. He speaks of how his life has changed since falling for his beloved, stating that the bohemian nights of solitude are over, and waking up next to her has become a sacred act.
