Me gustas

Mickey Taveras' song 'Me gustas' is a passionate declaration of affection and desire. The lyrics convey a deep sense of admiration and longing for the person he is singing to. The phrase 'me gustas' translates to 'I like you' in English, but the context of the song suggests a much stronger sentiment, closer to 'I am enamored by you' or 'I have a crush on you.' The song is a romantic ballad, a style that Taveras is known for, and it captures the intensity of new love and the overwhelming attraction one can feel for another person.

The lyrics use vivid imagery to express the depth of the singer's feelings. For instance, the line 'si la luna fuera mia te la diera' suggests that he would give the moon to the object of his affection if it were his to give, indicating a willingness to offer the impossible out of love. The comparison of the loved one's smile to the midday sun and their kiss to a refreshing fountain of water further emphasizes the rejuvenating and life-giving nature of their presence and affection.

The repetition of 'me gustas' throughout the song serves to reinforce the central theme of attraction and admiration. The physical yearning to touch and be close to the person he likes is a recurring motif, highlighting the intensity of his desire. The song encapsulates the feeling of being so captivated by someone that they become the focal point of your existence, and the desire to be the sole recipient of their love and affection.
