Deseo

Pedro Guerra's song "Deseo" is a poignant exploration of unrequited love and the relentless pursuit of an unattainable desire. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a lover who is willing to go to great lengths to be with the object of their affection, even if it means following them to the ends of the earth. The repeated phrase "te seguiré hasta el final" ("I will follow you to the end") underscores the depth of the protagonist's commitment and longing.

The song is rich with metaphors and imagery, such as "bajo la luz y la sombra" ("under the light and the shadow") and "en los dibujos del aire" ("in the drawings of the air"), which evoke a sense of searching in both the seen and unseen realms. The lover's plea to "desnudes amor" ("undress, my love") and the promise to show their wounds suggest a desire for vulnerability and intimacy. However, this desire is ultimately doomed, as indicated by the recurring line "se hará ceniza el deseo" ("the desire will turn to ashes") and the decision to leave "para siempre" ("forever") before the beloved awakens.

The song also delves into the theme of madness brought on by unfulfilled love. The line "me he vuelto loco por nada" ("I have gone crazy for nothing") captures the futility and emotional turmoil experienced by the protagonist. The imagery of "las hadas" ("the fairies") turning to dust symbolizes the end of magical, hopeful illusions, leaving the lover in a state of confusion and despair.

Pedro Guerra's musical style, characterized by its poetic lyrics and emotive melodies, enhances the song's melancholic and introspective mood. "Deseo" is a testament to the power of love and desire, even when they lead to heartache and disillusionment.
