Como Yo Quiero (Como Eu Quero)

Kid Abelha's song 'Como Yo Quiero (Como Eu Quero)' delves into the complexities of love and the desire for authenticity in relationships. The lyrics express a yearning for genuine connection, free from pretense and superficial gestures. The opening lines, 'Dí que quede muda / Pon cara de misterio,' suggest a frustration with insincere communication and a longing for honest dialogue. The singer wants to move past the 'dramas conocidos' and 'mundo particular' that have failed to capture her heart, emphasizing that 'solos de guitarra / No me han de conquistar.' This metaphor highlights the inadequacy of grand gestures in winning true affection.

The chorus, 'Ooh, te quiero así / Como yo quiero,' underscores the singer's desire for a relationship on her own terms. She rejects the idea of conforming to someone else's expectations, insisting on a love that respects her individuality. The lines 'Lo que tú necesitas / Es un cambio total' and 'Transformaré ese trazo / Hasta ser arte final' indicate a willingness to help her partner grow, but only if it aligns with her vision of a fulfilling relationship. This transformation is not about control but about mutual improvement and genuine connection.

The song also touches on the theme of independence and self-worth. The lyrics 'Ahórrate tus gestos / No creo en tu mirada' and 'Cada qual por sí / Y tú por mí ya nada' reflect a strong sense of self-respect and a refusal to settle for less than what she deserves. The singer is clear that she wants a partner who can meet her standards and contribute to a healthy, balanced relationship. The closing lines, 'Vem que te enseño / Como serás mejor / Aún mejor,' suggest that she believes in the potential for growth and improvement, but only if it leads to a more authentic and satisfying connection.
