Review

Luis Miguel El día que me quieras meaning and lyrics explained

El día que me quieras – “The day you love me” is a song by Luis Miguel and it was released in 1994. It is important to say that El día que me quieras has different versions by other popular singers, but this time we are going to review the version Luis Miguel did.

The Mexican singer Luis Miguel made an incredible job adapting this song to his ballad and romantic style, making the song sound as if he had it composed himself.

the song and the lyrics are like a love poem making euphemisms for simple things in a relationship like a smile, a kiss, or even a caress it is magnified to show us how great is love.

The singing is immaculate, Luis Miguel’s voice does transmit a great feeling of romantic melancholy in each line. El día que me quieras is a magnificent song to listen to when you are in love with someone; it is a song that will draw you to imagine how living with that person at your side will be.

On the other hand, for those learning Spanish, be careful when trying to understand this song because the lyrics are poetic and complex although there are no difficult words, sometimes the verses can result in difficult to understand.

I will say that this song requires mid-Spanish knowledge to be able to understand fully its lyrics. Overall is a spectacular song for those who want to hear something beautiful and calm while trying to learn Spanish. I can assure you that after listening to this song you will find yourself humbling the song without realizing it.
