Deseo

Los Bukis' song 'Deseo' is a poignant exploration of contrasting emotions, blending heartfelt wishes for others with a deeply personal and bitter sentiment towards a specific individual. The song begins with a series of benevolent wishes for friends, family, and even strangers. The narrator expresses a desire for his friend to find their path in life, for his siblings to always be under God's protection, and for people to have a good present. These wishes are filled with warmth and positivity, reflecting a deep sense of care and compassion.

The lyrics then shift to more specific wishes, such as hoping that a child's smile never fades and that his parents reach glory without fear or haste. The narrator also wishes for comfort for those who cry and beautiful dreams for those who dream. These lines continue the theme of goodwill and empathy, painting a picture of a person who genuinely cares about the well-being of others.

However, the tone of the song takes a dramatic turn when the narrator addresses a particular person, presumably a former lover. Here, the wishes become dark and filled with bitterness. The narrator wishes for this person to be enveloped in sadness, to feel cold and insecure, and to see their bed as a grave. He even wishes for them to be shunned by the world and to hear no sincere words. This stark contrast highlights the depth of the narrator's pain and resentment, ultimately revealing that his true desire is for this person to return to him. The song masterfully captures the complexity of human emotions, oscillating between love and bitterness, and showcases Los Bukis' ability to convey profound feelings through their music.
