Necesito de Ti

The song "Necesito de Ti" by Roberto Orellana is a heartfelt expression of the artist's deep need for divine guidance and support. The title translates to "I Need You," and the lyrics convey a profound sense of dependence on a higher power, which in the context of Orellana's Christian faith, is God. The song uses natural metaphors to illustrate the necessity of God's presence in the singer's life, comparing it to the way a seagull needs the sea, or a swallow needs the wind to soar. These comparisons emphasize the natural and essential quality of this spiritual need.

The lyrics also touch upon the challenges of living in a world filled with 'maldad' (evil) and 'obra de iniquidad' (works of iniquity), suggesting that the singer seeks God's help to navigate through life's moral complexities and to overcome temptations and wrongdoings. The song is a prayer for strength and guidance to live a life that is pleasing to God, to be an 'obrero aprobado' (approved worker) who can spread the message of love and the imminent return of Christ to his church.

Finally, the song speaks to the Christian concept of life as a journey or a race, with the ultimate goal of receiving a 'corona' (crown), symbolizing eternal life or salvation. Orellana's plea for God's assistance is not just for the present life but also to ensure that he finishes his 'carrera' (race) faithfully, with the hope of a heavenly reward. The repetition of 'Necesito de ti' (I need you) throughout the song reinforces the central theme of reliance on God's support for every aspect of life.
