Quererte a Ti

Kika Edgar's song "Quererte a Ti" delves into the profound and often painful experience of unrequited love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the emotional turmoil and the seemingly impossible quest of loving someone who does not reciprocate those feelings. The opening lines compare this love to trying to extract a sound from the wind, a kiss from the void, and a smile from silence, emphasizing the futility and the emptiness that accompanies such an endeavor.

The song continues to explore the theme of solitary love, describing it as conjugating the verb 'to love' in solitude. This metaphor highlights the isolation and the one-sided nature of the affection. The singer expresses a 'te quiero' (I love you) without expecting a response, and the pain of knowing that their caresses might be unwelcome. This unreciprocated love is portrayed as a battle against no one, a struggle that is both internal and deeply personal.

The chorus reinforces the idea of striving for something unattainable, likening the effort to winning the heavens through love and losing the fear of pain. The repeated lines about fighting against no one and drowning the fire that burns within the singer's soul underscore the intense emotional conflict and the resilience required to endure such a love. The song's repetition of 'quererte a ti' (loving you) serves as a poignant reminder of the central theme: the relentless, unfulfilled desire that defines unrequited love.
