Quiero verte

Marta Soto's song 'Quiero verte' is a heartfelt exploration of the transformative power of love. The lyrics convey a deep emotional journey where the protagonist finds strength and renewal through a significant other. The opening lines, 'Cuánto más me acerco, cuánto más te aprendo, más me vuelvo loca,' suggest an intense connection that grows stronger with time, leading to a sense of madness or overwhelming emotion. This relationship is depicted as a healing force, with the protagonist stating that they are no longer broken behind their 'cristales' (glass), indicating a newfound sense of wholeness and courage.

The chorus, 'Que quiero verte, que has despertado mis maneras más valientes,' emphasizes the bravery and warmth that love has brought into the protagonist's life. The metaphor of making winter warm and breathing differently in the lover's 'mar' (sea) illustrates how love has changed their perception of life, making it more vibrant and meaningful. The desire to see and be with the loved one is so strong that it becomes a source of strength, as expressed in the lines, 'tengo en mis ojos tu verdad y eso me hace tan fuerte.' This suggests that the truth and authenticity found in the relationship empower the protagonist.

As the song progresses, the lyrics highlight the continuous learning and growth that come from this love. The lines 'Cuánto más me enseñas, cuánto más te encuentro, más deseo te abraza' reflect an ongoing process of discovery and desire. The imagery of living 'descalza' (barefoot) and reaching the sky symbolizes freedom and an elevated state of being. The song culminates in a declaration of unwavering commitment and intensity, with the protagonist expressing a willingness to give their all, as seen in 'Hoy te entrego lo que soy.' This final sentiment encapsulates the profound impact of love, portraying it as a force that brings truth, intensity, and a sense of purpose.
