Llegando a Ti

“Llegando a Ti” by La Hija Del Mariachi is a heartfelt ballad that explores the gradual and profound journey of love. The song's lyrics depict a slow but steady approach towards a beloved, emphasizing the diminishing distance between two hearts. The repetition of “poco a poco” (little by little) underscores the patience and persistence in love, suggesting that true affection grows and strengthens over time. The singer expresses a deep longing and constant thoughts of the beloved, highlighting the consuming nature of genuine love.

The song beautifully captures the essence of romantic yearning and the joy of mutual affection. The lines “que bonito es querer como quiero yo” (how beautiful it is to love as I do) and “que bonito entregarse todito completo” (how beautiful it is to give oneself completely) reflect the singer's wholehearted devotion. This complete surrender to love is portrayed as something pure and fulfilling, even without knowing the exact nature of the other person's feelings. The singer believes that the beloved shares the same intense emotions, as suggested by the line “pero a ti como a mi no te cabe en el cuerpo” (but for you, like for me, it doesn't fit in the body).

The emotional depth of the song is further amplified by the acknowledgment of shared suffering and longing. The singer recalls the pain of separation and the tears shed during lonely nights, reinforcing the idea that love is not just about joy but also about enduring hardships together. The final lines, where the singer's eyes fill with tears of joy, encapsulate the beauty of being reunited with a loved one and the overwhelming happiness that comes with it. “Llegando a Ti” is a poignant reminder of the power of love to bridge distances and bring two souls closer, little by little.
