Queriéndote Querer

Simona's song 'Queriéndote Querer' delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is deeply in love with a person whose heart belongs to another. The song opens with a sense of something going wrong, a missed opportunity or a failure to see the signs. This sets the stage for the protagonist's internal conflict, as they grapple with their feelings and the reality of the situation. The line 'Algo me estalló en la cien' (Something exploded in my temple) metaphorically represents the sudden realization and emotional impact of hearing the beloved's voice, which ignites a desire to share a life story together.

The chorus highlights the protagonist's confusion and frustration, asking why they can't see what's right in front of them and why they continue to love someone who is already committed to another. This is a common theme in love songs, but Simona's delivery adds a layer of raw vulnerability. The metaphor 'Tapando el sol con un dedo' (Covering the sun with a finger) illustrates the futility of trying to ignore the obvious truth. Despite this, the protagonist is unable to resist the beloved's gaze, which disarms them emotionally.

As the song progresses, the protagonist acknowledges their mistakes and the pain of being just a 'brisa' (breeze) in the beloved's life, always fleeting and never substantial. The repeated plea for an explanation underscores the desperation and helplessness felt in unrequited love. The song concludes with a poignant declaration of eternal love, even though the protagonist knows it may never be reciprocated. Simona's heartfelt performance and the evocative lyrics make 'Queriéndote Querer' a powerful exploration of the complexities and heartache of loving someone who cannot love you back.
