Deseos (Rondando Tu Esquina / Nuestro Juramento)

Charlie Zaa's song 'Deseos (Rondando Tu Esquina / Nuestro Juramento)' is a poignant exploration of longing, regret, and undying love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person consumed by the desire to reunite with a lost love. The opening lines reveal a deep yearning to seek out the beloved, to erase past mistakes, and to forgive. The protagonist is so overwhelmed by this passion that societal judgments and gossip become irrelevant. This intense focus on the beloved, who remains unaware of the protagonist's feelings, underscores the theme of unrequited love and the torment it brings.

The song delves deeper into the emotional turmoil experienced by the protagonist. The repeated questioning of what the beloved has done to cause such sadness and obsession highlights the depth of their emotional pain. The imagery of 'rondando siempre tu esquina' (always wandering around your corner) and 'mirando siempre tu casa' (always looking at your house) conveys a sense of haunting and relentless pursuit. The protagonist's heart, described as wounded and unable to forget, further emphasizes the enduring nature of their suffering. The metaphor of the 'mariposa del dolor' (butterfly of pain) fluttering through the nights of their days adds a poetic touch to the depiction of their anguish.

The latter part of the song shifts to a solemn vow of eternal love. The lyrics express a profound commitment to love beyond death, with promises to mourn and remember each other even in the afterlife. This section of the song introduces a sense of tragic romance, where the protagonist's love transcends the physical realm. The imagery of writing the story of their love with 'tinta sangre del corazón' (ink blood of the heart) signifies the deep emotional investment and the pain intertwined with their love story. Charlie Zaa's emotive delivery and the lyrical depth of 'Deseos' make it a powerful ballad about the complexities of love, loss, and the enduring hope for reconciliation.
