Desde que te vi

“Desde que te vi” by Los Ángeles Azules is a heartfelt ode to the transformative power of love at first sight. The song captures the moment when the protagonist's life changes upon meeting someone special. The lyrics describe this encounter as a dream come true, filling the protagonist's life with newfound meaning and joy. The phrase “una flecha me clavaste con amor” (you pierced me with an arrow of love) metaphorically illustrates the sudden and profound impact of this love, akin to Cupid's arrow striking the heart.

The song delves into the nature of love, emphasizing its physical and emotional aspects. The repetition of “el amor es mucha piel” (love is a lot of skin) suggests a deep, intimate connection that transcends mere physical attraction. This connection is further highlighted by the lines “estas marcas de la edad que se pueden ya borrar” (these marks of age that can now be erased), indicating that love has a rejuvenating effect, making past scars and experiences fade away.

Los Ángeles Azules, known for their romantic cumbia style, infuse the song with a rhythmic and melodic charm that enhances its emotional depth. The lyrics also touch on the unpredictability of life, acknowledging that alongside beautiful moments, there are also challenges. However, the protagonist's love remains unwavering, as expressed in the repeated declaration “ahora tu eres mi vida” (now you are my life). This song beautifully encapsulates the magic and enduring nature of true love, making it a timeless piece in the band's repertoire.
