Despertar Contigo

Kaleth Morales' song 'Despertar Contigo' is a poignant exploration of unrequited love and the yearning for a connection that remains just out of reach. The lyrics express a deep affection and desire for someone who may not even be aware of the singer's feelings. The opening lines set the tone of longing, as the singer ponders how to express love and desire for someone whose lips they have never kissed. This establishes a theme of unfulfilled love and the pain of loving from a distance.

The song continues to delve into the singer's admiration for the object of their affection, not just for their external beauty but also for their inner qualities. The metaphor of wanting to be the 'manantial' (spring) to the beloved's 'agua' (water) illustrates a desire to be an essential part of their life, to quench a thirst that is both literal and metaphorical. The singer's wish to 'despertar contigo' (wake up with you) signifies a longing for intimacy and a shared life that is currently only a dream. The chorus reinforces the theme of solitude and the ephemeral nature of dreams, suggesting that the feelings of love are powerful yet ultimately fleeting, like the wind.

Morales' lyrics are filled with poetic imagery, such as comparing the beloved to a 'golondrina' (swallow), a bird known for its high and distant flight, symbolizing the unattainable nature of the love he seeks. The song's narrative arc takes the listener through the highs of hopeful desire to the lows of resignation, as the singer acknowledges the impossibility of the love he yearns for. The repeated chorus serves as a lament, a recognition that despite the depth of his feelings, the love he dreams of will remain out of reach.
