Quisiera

Raphael's song 'Quisiera' is a poignant exploration of longing and nostalgia for a lost love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a desolate garden, symbolizing the emptiness and sorrow that the singer feels in the absence of their beloved. The 'wind crying' and the 'melody of your absence' are powerful metaphors that convey the depth of the singer's grief and the void left by the loved one's departure. This imagery sets the tone for the entire song, emphasizing the profound sense of loss and yearning that permeates the lyrics.

The chorus reveals the singer's deep desire to relive the joy and passion of the past. The lines 'Quisiera sentir de nuevo la alegría / De ver tus ojos noche y día' express a longing to experience the happiness and excitement of being with the loved one once more. The mention of 'suspiros, pájaros y rosas' (sighs, birds, and roses) evokes a sense of romantic nostalgia, highlighting the beauty and tenderness of the memories the singer cherishes. The desire to 'change the present for the past' underscores the singer's wish to return to a time when their love was alive and vibrant.

The repetition of the phrase 'Quisiera contar contigo una por una / Todas las manchas de la luna' (I would like to count with you one by one / All the spots on the moon) serves as a metaphor for the intimate moments shared between the lovers. This imagery suggests a deep connection and a sense of wonder that the singer longs to recapture. The song concludes with a heartfelt plea to 'volver de nuevo a tu querer' (return once more to your love), encapsulating the central theme of yearning for a lost love and the desire to rekindle the passion and connection that once existed.
