Querer Mejor (spanglish version) (feat. Alessia Cara)
Juanes
Eternal Love and Growth in 'Querer Mejor'
Juanes' song 'Querer Mejor (spanglish version)' featuring Alessia Cara is a heartfelt exploration of enduring love and personal growth. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that provides refuge and strength, even in the face of life's storms. The metaphor of a strong rainstorm ('aguacero') symbolizes the challenges and hardships that life can bring. However, the presence of a loved one transforms these fears into a sense of safety and comfort, as they become a 'refuge' and 'roof' for the singer.
The song delves into the idea of love as a guiding light and a source of resilience. The imagery of the sky falling apart and sandcastles crumbling represents moments of despair and loss. Yet, the loved one is depicted as a beacon of hope, illuminating the singer's life and helping them overcome obstacles. This theme is further emphasized in the chorus, where the singer expresses a deep connection with their partner, feeling their presence even when they are physically apart. This connection is so profound that it transcends time, suggesting that their love will only grow stronger as they age.
Alessia Cara's verse adds a layer of synchronicity and destiny to the narrative. She speaks of a love that feels predestined, as if they have been through this journey before. This sense of familiarity and perfect timing enhances the idea that their love is unique and meant to be. The song concludes with a hopeful message about the future, expressing confidence that their love will continue to evolve and improve with time. The repeated line 'Sabré querer mejor' (I will know how to love better) encapsulates the essence of the song, highlighting the belief that true love is a continuous journey of growth and deepening connection.
