Quiero Decirte

La Costumbre's song 'Quiero Decirte' is a touching narrative about finding love unexpectedly and the transformative power it holds. The lyrics begin by describing a life filled with deception and constant struggle, where the protagonist feels like a lost cause. This sets the stage for a dramatic shift when they meet someone who changes their world entirely. The encounter is portrayed as serendipitous, happening 'sin querer, sin saber' (without wanting, without knowing), highlighting the unpredictability and magic of love.

The chorus, 'Quiero decir que te amo' (I want to say that I love you), is a heartfelt declaration of love and gratitude. The protagonist expresses how this newfound love has given life to their heart and how they can no longer imagine a life without their partner. The repetition of wanting to 'dormir, despertar, reir, y llorar junto a ti' (sleep, wake up, laugh, and cry with you) emphasizes the desire for a shared life filled with both joys and sorrows, underscoring the depth of their commitment and affection.

The song also touches on themes of imperfection and acceptance. The protagonist admits to not being perfect but feels that their flaws disappear when they are with their loved one. This sentiment is beautifully captured in the line 'Eres mas de lo que yo habia soñado' (You are more than I had dreamed). The song concludes with a reaffirmation of love, stating that nothing else matters if their partner is not there, and that they have found their other half. 'Quiero Decirte' is a celebration of love's ability to heal, transform, and complete us in ways we never imagined.
