Algo Contigo

The song 'Algo Contigo' by Rita Payés is a poignant expression of unrequited love and the internal struggle that comes with harboring feelings for someone who sees you only as a friend. The lyrics convey a deep sense of yearning and the difficulty of maintaining a platonic relationship when one's emotions are anything but. Rita Payés, a talented artist known for her jazz and bossa nova influences, delivers these feelings with a soulful touch that resonates with anyone who has ever been in a similar situation.

The opening lines, 'Y hace falta que te diga / ¿Que me muero por tener algo contigo?' translate to 'Do I need to tell you / That I'm dying to have something with you?' This sets the tone for the entire song, highlighting the desperation and the desire to be more than just friends. The singer talks about the struggle to control her feelings and the longing to know every detail of the other person's life, which is a common experience when one is deeply infatuated or in love.

The recurring theme of the song is the fear of regret, of not taking the chance to express these feelings before it's too late. The lyrics 'No quisiera yo morirme sin tener algo contigo' or 'I wouldn't want to die without having something with you' underscore the urgency and the importance of this confession. The song captures the essence of a love that is both passionate and painful, as it is held back by the boundaries of friendship and the uncertainty of the other person's feelings.
