Kisiera Yo Saber

Melendi's 'Kisiera Yo Saber' is a poignant exploration of longing and reflection on a past relationship. The song's lyrics convey a deep desire to understand the current state of a former lover's feelings and life. The opening lines express a yearning to know if the person has given up on love and the zest for life, suggesting a past filled with passion and vitality that may have dimmed. The narrator is curious about whether their ex-partner's heart still yearns for freedom, indicating a relationship that may have felt confining.

The chorus delves into the narrator's wish to know all the desires of the ex-partner's bedroom, a metaphor for intimate knowledge and connection. The vivid imagery of being so captivated by the ex-partner's eyes that it feels like an encounter with death illustrates the intensity of the emotions involved. The phrase 'novio de la muerte' (bridegroom of death) could be a reference to the Spanish Legion's anthem, symbolizing a fatalistic love. The narrator's heartache is palpable when they mention that their heart doesn't beat when the loved one is absent, emphasizing the depth of their attachment.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that time has passed, but the narrator's feelings remain. The mention of finding the ex-partner's clothes in a drawer and kissing a bottle of JB whiskey suggests coping mechanisms for dealing with the lingering pain of the breakup. The alcohol is personified as a reliable companion, unlike the ex-partner who caused harm. The repeated lines about falling and getting cut by the mere reflection of the ex-partner's hair signify the enduring impact of the relationship and the pain that resurfaces with memories.
