Review
Summary of the Lyrics and Interpretation
"Quisiera Ser" by Alejandro Sanz is a deeply poetic and evocative song that explores themes of longing, desire, and intimacy. The lyrics express the protagonist's profound yearning to be everything significant in the life of the person he loves. The recurring phrase "Quisiera ser" ("I wish to be") serves as the anchor of the song, as the protagonist lists various metaphorical roles he wishes to embody to be closer to the beloved.
In the first verse, Sanz paints a picture of intense desire by wishing to be "el dueño del pacto de tu boca" ("the owner of the pact of your mouth") and "el verbo al que no invitas a la fiesta de tu voz" ("the verb you don't invite to the party of your voice"). These metaphors suggest a longing to be an integral part of the beloved's life and expressions. The verse also contains sensual imagery, as the protagonist muses about the sensation of the wind beneath the lover's clothes and the sea's touch on her bare skin.
The chorus intensifies these desires, with the protagonist wishing to be "el aire que escapa de tu risa" ("the air that escapes from your laughter"), "la sal para escocerte en tus heridas" ("the salt to sting your wounds"), and "la sangre que envuelves con tu vida" ("the blood that envelops your life"). These wishes reveal a desire to be intimately intertwined with the beloved's every experience, whether it be joy, pain, or life itself.
In the second verse, Sanz reflects on the futility and complexity of his desires. He expresses doubt about whether his feelings are understood or if they are simply shared affections. He also contemplates the pain of longing from a distance, comparing it to the ache of the night that also yearns for closeness.
The bridge and the repetition of the chorus reiterate the protagonist's unfulfilled desires, emphasizing his deep longing to be part of the beloved's inner world. The imagery remains vivid and emotionally charged, with the protagonist envisioning himself as essential elements like air, salt, blood, and dreams.
Emotional Impact and Artistic Technique
"Quisiera Ser is a song that evokes a profound sense of longing and romantic yearning. Alejandro Sanz's delivery is soulful and tender, which, combined with the poetic nature of the lyrics, creates an atmosphere of melancholy and deep affection. The use of vivid and often symbolic imagery in the lyrics allows listeners to feel the intensity of the protagonist's emotions, making the song resonate on a deeply emotional level.
The How, Where, When, Who & What analysis:
The story is told through a series of metaphors and symbolic language, with each verse adding layers to the protagonist's yearning to be close to the beloved. The repetition of the phrase "Quisiera ser" serves as a powerful rhetorical device that reinforces the theme of unfulfilled desire.
The setting is not explicitly described but can be imagined as a deeply personal, almost introspective space where the protagonist contemplates his desires.
The narrative seems to take place in a timeless moment of reflection and yearning, possibly after the protagonist has experienced some form of separation or distance from the beloved.
The protagonist is a deeply introspective and emotional character, likely representing Sanz himself, and the object of his desire is an unnamed, idealized lover.
The main theme is the protagonist's longing to be everything significant in the life of his beloved, expressed through a series of vivid and intimate metaphors.
Explicit Themes and Overall Tone
