Quiero Queriendo

Oscar Chavez's song 'Quiero Queriendo' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the pain of abandonment. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has given their all in a relationship, only to be left behind without any remorse from their partner. The opening lines, 'Antes que te encontrara, mira que nada pasó por mí,' suggest a life that was uneventful and perhaps empty before meeting the beloved. However, the memory of the relationship is overshadowed by the pain of how much was given and how little was received in return.

The chorus, 'Me duele tanto el pecho por el despecho,' captures the physical and emotional agony of heartbreak. The singer expresses a profound sense of loss and despair, feeling like a 'pobre desgraciado' who cannot find a place to live without the presence of their loved one. This sense of being lost and unable to move on is a common theme in songs about unrequited love, but Chavez's delivery adds a layer of raw, authentic emotion that resonates deeply with listeners.

In the final verses, the singer acknowledges the inevitability of moving on, despite the pain. 'Viva la vida, muera la muerte, juegue la suerte' reflects a resigned acceptance of life's ups and downs, and the realization that life must go on. The repeated phrase 'yo ya me voy' signifies a painful but necessary farewell, encapsulating the essence of the song: the struggle to let go and the enduring hope to love again, even when it seems impossible. Chavez's poignant lyrics and heartfelt delivery make 'Quiero Queriendo' a powerful exploration of love, loss, and the resilience of the human spirit.
