Mi Deseo

The song 'Mi Deseo' by Marina García Herrera is a passionate expression of love and desire. The lyrics convey a deep yearning for a loved one, emphasizing the intensity of the singer's feelings. The song begins with the singer waking up with the presence of their beloved still lingering in their mind, suggesting that their thoughts are consumed by this person. The phrase 'mi deseo' or 'my desire' is repeated throughout the song, highlighting the central theme of longing and the deep emotional connection the singer feels.

Marina García Herrera uses vivid imagery to describe the object of her affection, mentioning 'tu mirada, tu pelo, tu risa, tu cara gitana' (your gaze, your hair, your laugh, your gypsy face), which paints a picture of someone who is captivating and unique. The reference to 'cara gitana' could also imply a sense of mystery and allure associated with the romanticized image of gypsy culture. The singer expresses a wish to dance slowly with their beloved, to savor each kiss as if it were eternal, further emphasizing the depth of their passion.

The song also touches on the pain of unrequited love, as the singer acknowledges that the person they desire may not be aware of their feelings ('Y se que tu no lo sabes'). Despite this, the singer cannot help but be drawn to their beloved, expressing a willingness to navigate their 'mares' (seas), which symbolizes the emotional journey of love. The repetition of wanting the 'lunares de tu cuerpo entero' (the moles on your entire body) is a metaphor for accepting and desiring every part of the person, flaws and all. 'Mi Deseo' is a heartfelt ballad that captures the essence of romantic longing and the vulnerability that comes with it.
