Desde que llegaste

El Potro de Sinaloa's song 'Desde que llegaste' is a heartfelt ode to the transformative power of love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of how the arrival of a significant other can change one's life in profound ways. From the very first line, 'Desde que llegaste no me quema el frio,' the artist expresses how the presence of this person has brought warmth and vitality into his life. The metaphor of blood boiling and hearing his own heartbeat signifies a newfound passion and excitement.

The song continues to explore the theme of love as a life-altering force. The artist admits that since this person arrived, being happy has become his 'vicio' or addiction, and gazing at the moon has become his favorite pastime. This suggests that love has given him a new sense of purpose and joy. However, he also acknowledges his limitations, stating, 'No te prometo amor eterno porque no puedo,' which translates to 'I don't promise you eternal love because I can't.' This line reveals a sense of realism and humility, as he describes himself as an adventurer and a 'casador de mariposas' or butterfly hunter, someone who lives in the moment and cherishes fleeting beauty.

The chorus, with its repetitive 'alababababasei' and 'cuanto te quiero,' emphasizes the simplicity and purity of his feelings. The nonsensical syllables add a playful and joyful element to the song, mirroring the lightheartedness that love can bring. The artist's declaration of 'cuanto te quiero' or 'how much I love you' is a straightforward yet powerful expression of his emotions. The song encapsulates the essence of love as a force that can make life feel unrestricted, full of purpose, and brimming with joy.
