Desde Cuando is Alejandro Sanz’s tender confession of finally finding the person he has searched for across countless dawns. Every line vibrates with relief and wonder: the pain has vanished because, at last, her eyes are right in front of him. Sanz paints small cinematic moments—doors that open only once, breezes that stitch memories, a gaze sparkling in the night sky—to show how extraordinary this encounter feels after so much longing. It is a love song, but also an ode to perseverance; the narrator kept hoping, kept walking, until destiny answered.
Beneath its smooth melody, the lyric celebrates three powerful ideas: 1) the joy of recognition when two souls meet, 2) the courage to dream even when doors close, and 3) the promise to cherish every “crazy” gift love offers. By the final lines, we learn that amid a million sunrises none could steal his heart like her single, trembling glance. The message is simple yet universal: true love may arrive late, but when it does, all past searching suddenly makes sense.
Alejandro Sanz, born Alejandro Sánchez Pizarro on December 18, 1968, in Madrid, Spain, is a celebrated Spanish musician, singer, and composer known for his flamenco-influenced ballads. Starting guitar at seven, inspired by his Andalusian roots, he rose to fame with his 1997 album Más, featuring the iconic hit "Corazón Partío," which established him internationally.
With a career spanning over three decades, Sanz has won 22 Latin Grammy Awards and four Grammy Awards. He has skillfully blended genres such as pop, rock, funk, R&B, and jazz into his music while maintaining his flamenco essence. Collaborations with global artists like Shakira, Juanes, and Alicia Keys highlight his versatile artistry. Notably, he was the first Spanish artist to record an MTV Unplugged album, further cementing his status as a Latin music icon.
