Song Meaning of “Quiero (Piano)” by Giovanni
Quiero (Piano) tells the story of a lover who is feeling the hurricane of emotions associated with being in love. They feel that they can do anything for this person, that they have no boundaries, that their love is infinite. They find themselves unable to speak and express their love, and instead they find solace in pouring their heart out in song:
“Es que me hace falta estar contigo/Para llevar este batir de mi corazón/Tengo una vana ilusión/Y mil cosas que decirte”
Translation: “I need to be with you/To take away this beating of my heart/I have a vain illusion/And a thousand things to tell you”
The song speaks of the passionate intensity of a love that will never die, a love that is eternal and ever-growing. The lyrics express the longing of the speaker, their heartache and pain as they yearn to be with the one they love. The music speaks to the emotions being expressed, the gentle piano driving the song further into the depths of the lover’s desperation.
In the end of the song, it is clear that the lover has been left with their own thoughts of what could have been.
