Hoy tengo ganas de ti

The song 'Hoy tengo ganas de ti' by Los Villacorta is a poignant exploration of longing, love, and heartache. The lyrics tell the story of a fleeting romance that left a deep impact on the narrator. The metaphor of a bird passing by ('Fuiste ave de paso') captures the transient nature of the relationship, while the narrator's growing attachment ('me fui acostumbrando, cada día más a ti') highlights the emotional depth that developed over time. The sudden departure of the loved one without a proper goodbye ('sin decirme adiós, yo te vi partir') adds a layer of sorrow and unresolved feelings.

The chorus reveals the narrator's intense desire to reconnect and find solace in the presence of their lost love. The imagery of open hands ('Quiero en tus manos abiertas buscar mi camino') symbolizes a search for guidance and comfort, while the desire for the loved one to feel like a woman only with the narrator ('y que te sientas mujer solamente conmigo') underscores a deep yearning for exclusivity and intimacy. The repeated phrase 'hoy tengo ganas de ti' emphasizes the immediacy and intensity of the narrator's longing.

The song also delves into the pain of loss and the emptiness that follows. The silence and pain ('No hay nada más triste, que el silencio y el dolor') and the bitterness of knowing the loved one is lost ('nada más amargo, que saber que te perdí') are powerful expressions of the narrator's grief. The search for the sound of the loved one's voice in the night ('hoy busco en la noche, el sonido de tu voz') and the desire to be filled with their presence ('para llenarme de ti') further illustrate the depth of the narrator's emotional void. Ultimately, 'Hoy tengo ganas de ti' is a heartfelt portrayal of love's enduring impact and the profound sense of loss that accompanies its absence.
