Cómo Quieres Que Te Quiera (part. Rosario)

Sebastián Yatra's song 'Cómo Quieres Que Te Quiera,' featuring Rosario, delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and longing. The lyrics poignantly express the pain of loving someone who is not present, both physically and emotionally. The repeated question, 'Cómo quieres que te quiera,' which translates to 'How do you want me to love you,' underscores the frustration and helplessness felt by the singer. This refrain highlights the central theme of the song: the impossibility of sustaining love when the other person is distant and unresponsive.

The imagery in the song is vivid and evocative. Phrases like 'Subiré montañas, y al río lloraré' ('I will climb mountains, and cry to the river') and 'mi corazón me grita, me aprisiona, sin querer' ('my heart screams at me, imprisons me, unwillingly') convey a sense of overwhelming sorrow and entrapment. These metaphors illustrate the depth of the singer's emotional struggle, as they are willing to go to great lengths and endure immense pain for a love that seems unattainable.

The collaboration with Rosario adds a layer of richness to the song, blending Yatra's contemporary pop style with Rosario's flamenco influences. This fusion of styles enhances the emotional intensity of the song, making the listener feel the weight of the singer's heartache. The song also touches on themes of hope and nostalgia, as the singer dreams of a day when life might return what was lost. This longing for the past and the hope for a better future create a poignant contrast, emphasizing the bittersweet nature of unrequited love.
