Cómo deseo ser tu amor

Los Palmeras, a renowned Argentine cumbia band, deliver a poignant and heartfelt ballad with 'Cómo deseo ser tu amor.' The song delves into the depths of longing and unrequited love, capturing the essence of yearning for someone who seems just out of reach. The lyrics are imbued with a sense of desperation and desire, as the narrator expresses a profound wish to be the beloved of the person they adore.

The repeated phrase 'Cómo deseo ser tu amor' (How I wish to be your love) underscores the central theme of the song. The narrator dreams of being intimately connected with their love interest, to the point of wanting to inhabit every space of their body and share every moment of their life. This intense desire is further emphasized by the imagery of wanting to see the morning light together and feel the breath of their beloved. The song paints a vivid picture of a love that is both passionate and unattainable.

The lyrics also explore the pain of separation and the struggle to cope with the absence of the loved one. The narrator speaks of a 'great love' that grows within them and a 'great desire to escape,' highlighting the internal conflict between their overwhelming emotions and the reality of their situation. The mention of wanting to be a god to bring the beloved closer reflects a sense of helplessness and the lengths to which the narrator would go to be with their love. Ultimately, the song conveys a bittersweet realization that the beloved may only ever be a dream, a poignant reminder of the fragility of human desires and the heartache of unfulfilled love.
