Cómo Mirarte

Sebastián Yatra's 'Cómo Mirarte' is a poignant ballad that delves into the complexities of unrequited love and the yearning for a connection that seems destined to remain out of reach. The Colombian singer-songwriter, known for his emotive voice and romantic lyrics, captures the essence of deep affection and the pain of loving someone who may not reciprocate those feelings.

The lyrics of 'Cómo Mirarte' express the difficulty of conveying feelings of love, especially when faced with the fear of rejection. Yatra uses seasonal metaphors, contrasting summer's warmth with winter's cold, to illustrate the stark difference in his life with and without the object of his affection. The song speaks to the universal experience of feeling incomplete without someone special and the frustration that comes with the inability to control one's own destiny in love. The refrain 'Y cómo mirarte' (And how to look at you) reflects the singer's struggle to face the beloved, knowing that their gaze brings both joy and sorrow.

Yatra's message is one of hope and resilience despite the odds. He refuses to accept that the love he feels could be fleeting ('Que no quiero que este amor sea pasajero') and holds onto the belief that physical distance cannot diminish his love ('No me importa la distancia, yo te quiero'). The song ends on a note of optimism, with the singer vowing to wait for the beloved, believing that true love transcends time and that destiny cannot keep them apart. 'Cómo Mirarte' resonates with anyone who has ever loved deeply, offering solace in the shared experience of love's trials and tribulations.
