SONG MEANING

Song Title: Te Quiero Dar

Natalia Lafourcade invites us into a playful, almost magical kitchen of emotions. She sings about sneaking into someone’s dreams and serving them arroz de sentimientos ‑ rice made of feelings ‑ seasoned with her most intimate thoughts. Every ingredient she mentions — songs, secrets, colors, memories — is a gift she longs to place on the other person’s table, hoping they will savor each one without fear. The Mexican singer-songwriter paints love as something you can cook, taste, and share, turning ordinary moments into a feast of imagination.

The repeating chorus “Te quiero dar, quiero jugar a enamorarme una vez más” reveals a heart that is brave yet cautious. Natalia wants to fall in love again, to dream and imagine freely, but she also pleads, “No quedes mal” — don’t let me down. The song balances vulnerability and optimism: reading a partner’s silences, interpreting body language, and wishing that this time the story ends well. It is an upbeat reminder that opening your heart is a risk worth taking when you have so much color and flavor to share.
