Cuando Te Pensaba

Manuel Medrano's song 'Cuando Te Pensaba' delves into the profound transformation that love can bring into one's life. The lyrics reflect a journey from a state of emptiness and lack of purpose to one filled with meaning and emotion, all triggered by the presence of a significant other. Initially, the singer describes a life where nothing seemed to matter—thinking, singing, and waiting were all devoid of substance. This repetition of 'nada' (nothing) emphasizes the void that existed before love entered the picture.

As the song progresses, the narrative shifts dramatically. The singer now finds himself thinking, singing, and living for someone else. The line 'Ahora cuando pienso, pienso en ti' (Now when I think, I think of you) signifies this change. The mundane activities that once felt meaningless are now imbued with purpose and passion. The simple act of thinking or singing becomes an expression of love and connection. This transformation is further highlighted by the intimate imagery of 'el roce de tu pie derecho con el izquierdo de mi pie' (the touch of your right foot with my left foot), symbolizing a deep, almost magical connection.

The song also touches on the idea of longing and the search for the 'persona indicada' (the right person). Before finding this person, the singer's actions were aimless, but now they are directed towards someone who reciprocates his feelings. This mutual recognition and the desire to be together encapsulate the essence of the song. Medrano's soulful voice and heartfelt lyrics make 'Cuando Te Pensaba' a poignant exploration of how love can fill the void and bring new meaning to life.
