Como Deseo Ser Tu Amor

Los Galos' song 'Como Deseo Ser Tu Amor' is a poignant expression of unrequited love and deep longing. The lyrics convey a powerful desire to be intimately connected with the object of the singer's affection. The repeated phrase 'Cómo deseo ser tu amor' underscores the intensity of this yearning, as the singer imagines the joy and fulfillment that would come from being close to their beloved. This longing is not just physical but also emotional, as the singer wishes to 'vibrate' with every part of their lover's being and to share in their daily life, symbolized by the light of the morning and the breath from their mouth.

The song also delves into the pain of separation and the struggle to cope with unfulfilled desires. The singer expresses a 'gran dolor' (great pain) and a desire to escape, yet acknowledges that distance only amplifies their suffering. This paradox highlights the depth of their emotional turmoil, as they are sustained only by memories and the mere thought of their beloved's presence. The imagery of 'bebiendo aquel anís de maravillas que eres tú' (drinking that anise of wonders that you are) suggests that the beloved is a source of intoxicating beauty and joy, further emphasizing the singer's deep infatuation.

In the final verses, the singer's longing takes on a more desperate tone. They wish they could be a god to bring their beloved close and prevent their joy from dying. This hyperbolic wish reflects the intensity of their feelings and the hopelessness of their situation. The realization that their beloved is 'solamente un sueño' (only a dream) adds a layer of melancholy, as the singer grapples with the painful acceptance that their love may never be reciprocated. This song captures the universal experience of longing and the heartache of unattainable love, resonating deeply with anyone who has ever yearned for someone out of reach.
