Solo Quería Decirte Lyrics in English by José Felipe Mejía
“Solo Quería Decirte” means “I only wanted to tell you,” and the song feels like a nervous love confession that has been waiting too long. The singer remembers the first moment he saw her: “te miré los ojos” [I looked into your eyes], then says her hair caught him and her voice won him over. Since the day they were introduced, he has thought about her and says, “desde ese día me enamoré” [since that day, I fell in love]. He calls her “la mujer perfecta” [the perfect woman] he has waited years to find, which is wonderfully direct, even a little dramatic.
There is also a clear obstacle: she does not want to see that a relationship could happen, and the singer admits that “no puede ser” [it cannot be]. He asks her to stop thinking only with her head and to “sentir con el corazón” [feel with your heart]. Meanwhile, he keeps dreaming of her, imagining her beauty in small details: the air, her mole, and “tus labios hechos canción” [your lips made into a song]. The Spanish phrase “desde entonces” means “since then,” so it helps show how one meeting has stayed in his mind. By the end, his message is simple: meeting her changed his life, and he wants to give his heart to her love.
