Yo Quería

Keviz's song 'Yo Quería' is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and longing. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that has faded, leaving behind a trail of unfulfilled promises and lingering memories. The opening lines, 'Tantas promesas que se apagan hoy / Y no sabemos ni el porqué,' set the tone for the song, highlighting the confusion and sadness that often accompany the end of a romantic relationship. The imagery of promises extinguishing like dying flames evokes a sense of finality and heartbreak.

The chorus reveals the depth of the narrator's desire to hold onto the fleeting moments of love. 'Yo quería parar el tiempo con tus ojos viéndome / Con las ganas de quedarme así abrazándote' expresses a yearning to freeze time and savor the intimacy of being together. This desire to stop time is a powerful metaphor for the wish to preserve the happiness and connection that love brings, even as it slips away. The repetition of 'Yo quería, si quería' underscores the intensity of this longing and the pain of its unattainability.

Throughout the song, Keviz contrasts the narrator's personal sorrow with the broader context of love in the world. Lines like 'Tantas parejas que se aman hoy / Obscuras en su fantasía' and 'Tantos amores se reencuentran hoy / En todas las canciones y las poesías' suggest that while love continues to thrive for others, the narrator is left grappling with his own loss. This juxtaposition highlights the universal nature of love and heartbreak, making the song relatable to anyone who has experienced the end of a meaningful relationship. The closing lines, 'Y yo esta noche sin tu amor,' encapsulate the loneliness and yearning that permeate the song, leaving listeners with a profound sense of empathy for the narrator's plight.
