Asi se Quiere

Juan Gabriel's song 'Asi se Quiere' delves into the poignant theme of unrequited love, capturing the emotional turmoil of loving someone who does not reciprocate those feelings. The lyrics express a deep sense of longing and frustration, as the narrator repeatedly reaches out to their beloved, only to be met with silence and avoidance. This unfulfilled desire is encapsulated in the lines, 'Te llamo, pero no respondes / Te busco, pero tu te escondes,' highlighting the one-sided nature of the relationship.

The song also touches on themes of social and economic disparity. The narrator acknowledges that their lack of wealth might be a barrier to being loved in return, as seen in the lines, 'tal vez no logre / que tu me quieras como yo / por que soy Pobre.' This admission adds a layer of vulnerability and realism to the song, reflecting the societal pressures and prejudices that can influence personal relationships. However, the narrator remains hopeful and determined, vowing to improve their circumstances and win the love they desire, 'yo voy a ser mejor que tu / no se ni cuanto he de esperar / pero muy rico un dia sere.'

The song concludes with a declaration of unwavering love and a promise of future success. Despite the current lack of reciprocation and the challenges posed by their socioeconomic status, the narrator is steadfast in their affection and optimistic about the future. The final lines, 'y entonces vas a saber tu y entonces tu vas a saber / que asi se quiere en veracruz,' suggest that true love transcends material wealth and societal expectations, and that one day, their love will be recognized and appreciated.
