Quereme... Tengo Frío

Miranda!'s song 'Quereme... Tengo Frío' delves into the depths of longing and loneliness experienced in the absence of a loved one. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person waiting in a house filled with memories, symbolized by the presence of records, books, and the radio. This setting underscores the emotional weight of the wait, as the protagonist clings to the hope of their loved one's return. The repeated plea 'Quereme' (Love me) emphasizes the desperation and vulnerability felt in this state of longing.

The metaphors used in the song are powerful and evocative. Comparing the need for love to the earth's need for water and the sea's morning calm highlights the essential and natural desire for connection. The imagery of coldness ('tengo frío') serves as a metaphor for the emotional void and isolation felt without the loved one. This coldness is not just physical but deeply emotional, representing the chill of loneliness and the yearning for warmth and affection.

The song also touches on the theme of unfulfilled expectations and the pain of seeing a loved one with someone else. The protagonist's steps on the sidewalk and the light in the window symbolize the proximity yet unattainability of the loved one. The realization that the loved one is accompanied by another person adds a layer of heartbreak and despair. The final lines, where the protagonist acknowledges their own desolation ('mi sombra está, mi amor, desamparada'), encapsulate the profound sense of abandonment and the stark contrast between the warmth of love and the coldness of solitude.
