Desde Cuando

Alejandro Sanz's 'Desde Cuando' is a poetic exploration of the longing and fulfillment found in the search for love. The song begins with a sense of relief and wonder, as the protagonist expresses that the pain has subsided upon finding the person they have been searching for. The repeated phrase 'mira si busqué' (look how much I searched) emphasizes the extensive journey the speaker has undergone to find this special someone, and now that they have arrived, there is a wealth of emotions and experiences to share.

The lyrics weave a narrative of a person who has been waiting and searching for their significant other, looking for that unique connection in countless dawns ('un millón de auroras'), yet finding it in none. The use of celestial imagery, such as searching for the loved one's gaze in the firmament, adds a romantic and almost ethereal quality to the song. The declaration that none has captivated him as the person he addresses now, underscores the uniqueness of this newfound love. The song also touches on the vulnerability and courage it takes to express one's feelings, as the speaker considers it a bold move ('Puede parecer atrevimiento') but justifies it as pure sentiment.

The song's bridge conveys a sense of freedom and opportunity, with the protagonist ready to run through the streets and open doors that were once closed, symbolizing the new possibilities that love has brought into their life. The pain and searching have been replaced with an eagerness to share and experience life with the other person. 'Desde Cuando' is not just about finding love, but also about the transformation and growth that comes with it, and the realization that sometimes, what we seek has been there all along, perhaps even waiting for us.
