Que vuelo

Sergio Contreras' song 'Que vuelo' is a poignant exploration of longing, love, and the quest for emotional freedom. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who feels trapped in a cycle of waiting and yearning for a love that seems just out of reach. The opening lines set the stage with the artist alone, facing a blank page, inventing stories, and listening to distant sounds. This imagery suggests a sense of isolation and a deep desire for connection and fulfillment.

The recurring question, '¿Dónde está el amor que me pertenece por creerlo?' (Where is the love that belongs to me for believing in it?), underscores the theme of unfulfilled expectations and the search for a promised love. The artist expresses a sense of frustration and helplessness as time passes without the arrival of this love. The plea to 'deja que la encuentre por favor' (let me find her, please) highlights the desperation and hope intertwined in this quest.

The chorus, 'Que vuelo, hazme creer niño que vuelo,' (I fly, make me believe, child, that I fly) introduces a metaphor of flight as a symbol of freedom and escape from the emotional turmoil. The desire for kisses and caresses to become wings that lift the artist suggests a longing for love to provide liberation and joy. The repeated imagery of falling and struggling to rise again reflects the ongoing battle with despair and the hope that love can offer a way out. Contreras' heartfelt delivery and the emotive lyrics create a powerful narrative of vulnerability and the human need for love and connection.
