Querer Querer

Tessa Ia's song 'Querer Querer' delves into the complexities of desire and the emotional turmoil that comes with trying to align one's feelings with another's expectations. The lyrics poignantly express the difficulty of wanting to want something that one inherently does not desire. This internal conflict is highlighted in the repeated lines, 'Me cuesta que tú quieras que yo quiera, algo que no quiero,' which translates to 'It's hard for me that you want me to want something I don't want.' This repetition emphasizes the struggle and weight of trying to meet someone else's emotional needs while being true to oneself.

The song also explores the fear and discomfort of not being able to love someone in the way they deserve. Tessa Ia sings, 'Me asusta que no quieras que te quiera, así como te debes querer,' meaning 'It scares me that you don't want me to love you the way you should be loved.' This line reveals a deep concern for the other person's well-being and a recognition of their worth, even if the singer feels incapable of fulfilling that role. The juxtaposition of fear and affection creates a poignant tension that resonates throughout the song.

Additionally, 'Querer Querer' touches on moments of mutual desire and the joy that comes from being able to love freely. The lines 'Me gusta cuando quieres que te quiera, cuando te dejas querer,' or 'I like it when you want me to love you, when you let yourself be loved,' capture the fleeting moments of harmony and connection. These moments are contrasted with the overarching theme of struggle, making them all the more precious. Tessa Ia's emotive delivery and the lyrical depth of 'Querer Querer' make it a powerful exploration of the complexities of love and desire.
