Solo Quiero

In 'Solo Quiero,' Canseco delves into the depths of longing and unfulfilled love. The song opens with the artist expressing a sense of anxiety that lingers after a significant other has left. The city is eerily quiet, amplifying the loneliness felt by the narrator. The act of lighting a cigarette given by the loved one and the constant checking of the phone symbolize the lingering attachment and the hope for reconnection. These small, everyday actions are loaded with emotional weight, highlighting the depth of the narrator's feelings.

The lyrics then take us back to the beginning of the relationship, marked by a specific date, November 9th. This date signifies a moment of profound change, where a fleeting encounter quickly turned into a deep emotional bond. The narrator's dreams of a future together, including a wedding on the beach, are vivid and filled with romantic imagery. The wind playing with the dress and the footprints in the sand evoke a sense of timeless love, yet these dreams are juxtaposed with the harsh reality of unreciprocated feelings.

The chorus reveals the crux of the narrator's struggle: the loved one is focused on their own life, leaving the narrator in a state of yearning. The repeated lines, 'Y que puedo hacer / Si solo quiero cantarte a ti,' ('And what can I do / If I only want to sing to you'), emphasize the narrator's helplessness and singular desire to express their love through song and writing. This repetition underscores the emotional turmoil and the one-sided nature of the relationship, making 'Solo Quiero' a poignant exploration of love, longing, and the pain of unfulfilled dreams.
