Enseñame a Querer

La Rondalla de Saltillo's song "Enséñame a Querer" is a heartfelt plea for guidance in rediscovering the essence of love. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and vulnerability, as the narrator seeks to learn how to love again after a period of emotional dormancy. The phrase "Enséñame a querer de nueva cuenta" (Teach me to love again) sets the tone for the entire song, highlighting the narrator's desire to experience genuine affection and connection once more.

The song delves into the narrator's past, where previous relationships failed to leave a lasting impact, described as "amores que se fueron y no dejaron huella" (loves that came and went without leaving a trace). This lack of meaningful connections has left the narrator feeling emotionally barren, prompting a yearning for a deeper, more fulfilling experience of love. The repeated request to be taught how to live "enamorado" (in love) underscores the narrator's hope for a transformative relationship that can reignite the passion and warmth that has long been absent.

A notable aspect of the song is the narrator's astonishment at the attention and care shown by their current partner. The lines "Extraño me parece que te ocupes de cómo estoy o qué hice ayer" (It seems strange to me that you care about how I am or what I did yesterday) reflect a sense of disbelief and gratitude for the partner's genuine interest. This newfound attention rekindles a long-extinguished flame within the narrator's heart, symbolizing the potential for a renewed and profound connection. The song concludes with a promise of unwavering loyalty and a life enriched by love, encapsulated in the repeated plea, "Enséñame a querer una vez más" (Teach me to love once more).
