Le deseo

Merche's song 'Le deseo' delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the complexities of friendship. The narrative begins with the protagonist meeting someone special while out with her friend Maria. The initial encounter is filled with smiles and conversations that stretch into the night, leading the protagonist to fall in love unexpectedly. This sets the stage for the emotional conflict that follows.

The chorus, or 'estribillo,' reveals the depth of the protagonist's feelings. She expresses a profound desire for the person she loves, yet she is painfully aware that he is in love with Maria. The lyrics 'Le deseo tanto que me faltan fuerzas, para olvidarle y aceptar que quiere a ella' highlight her struggle to accept this reality. Her love is so intense that it drains her strength, making it difficult to move on and accept that he loves someone else.

As the song progresses, the protagonist witnesses the happiness of Maria and her love interest, which intensifies her pain. The sight of them together, happy and united, makes her want to scream out in agony. The line 'es mi mejor amiga y el noño de mi amor' underscores the betrayal she feels, as her best friend is now with the man she loves. The repeated chorus emphasizes her suffering and the curse of loving someone who is unattainable. The protagonist's internal conflict is palpable, as she dreams of his kiss and wishes she could fight for him if he were with anyone other than Maria.

Merche's poignant lyrics and emotive delivery capture the essence of unrequited love, friendship, and the heartache that comes with seeing someone you love happy with another. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of loving someone who cannot love them back.
