Cantarina (feat. Milton Contez)

Willy Claure's 'Cantarina' is a heartfelt serenade that expresses the deep longing and affection of the narrator for their beloved. The lyrics convey a sense of sleepless nights ('Voy de desvelo en desvelo') filled with the hope that one day the object of their affection will reciprocate their feelings ('Quieras llevarme a tu cielo'). The song is rich with romantic imagery, suggesting a desire to be close to the loved one, to the point of being willing to give up everything ('Dejaria todo todo') just to be with them.

The repeated mention of 'tus labios rojos' (your red lips) and being part of the beloved's breath ('ser parte de tu aliento') symbolizes a deep yearning for an intimate connection. The narrator's love is so profound that they metaphorically describe themselves as dissolving in the beloved's body ('Voy lloviendome en tu cuerpo') and chasing their shadow, indicating a sense of devotion and the desire to be ever-present in their life. The song also touches on themes of hope and fortune, with the narrator wishing for luck to be on their side so they can be embraced by the beloved's heart ('Si la suerte me acompaña / Y tu corazón me abriga').

Musically, Willy Claure is known for his work with Bolivian folk music, and 'Cantarina' likely incorporates traditional elements that enhance the emotional weight of the lyrics. The song's title, which can be translated as 'singing woman' or 'songstress', may refer to the beloved's voice being so enchanting that it captivates the narrator's soul, leading them to offer 'mil mañanas' (a thousand mornings) filled with song and the freshness of their voice ('el rocio de mi voz'). The song is a poetic ode to unrequited love and the lengths one would go to for the chance to be with the person they adore.
