Te Extraño
Ana Victoria Lyrics

The song "Te Extraño" by Ana Victoria is about the intense emotions one feels after a breakup. The lyrics suggest a complex and contradictory mix of feelings towards the ex-partner. The singer starts by repeating "Te extraño" which means "I miss you" in Spanish, expressing the pain and longing caused by the separation. Then, she adds "Te sueño" ("I dream of you"), which amplifies the yearning and serves as a reminder that the memories of the past relationship are still present in her mind. However, this is quickly followed by "Te olvido" ("I forget you") which represents the desire to move on and forget the pain that the breakup has caused.

The next lines of the first verse shows the conflicting feelings the singer has towards the former partner. "Como te extraño" ("How I miss you") is followed by "Te amo" ("I love you"). The latter contradicts the former which may suggest that even though the relationship has ended, the love for the ex-partner still remains. However, this is immediately topped with "Te odio" ("I hate you"), conveying that bitterness and anger towards the ex-lover are also present. The last line “Me muero” ("I'm dying") amplifies the unbearable pain produced by the messy and intense mix of emotions.

The second verse starts with "Cada día, Cada noche, Con mis sueños, Yo me enfermo" which means "Every day, Every night, With my dreams, I get sick." These lines suggest that the memory of the loved one is ever-present, and that the thoughts of the breakup and the lost love are causing the singer to lose control. The chorus "Nunca volviste, Ya nunca volviste a mí" ("You never came back, You'll never come back to me") highlights the lack of resolution and the fact that the relationship is over.

The bridge of the song acknowledges the need to move on and live life again. The lines "Amar mi cuerpo otra vez, A darme aliento otra vez, Vivir mis besos otra vez, Otra vez ¿Por qué?" ("To love my body again, To give myself courage again, To live my kisses again, Again, why?) suggest that the singer is looking for ways to rediscover herself and move on. However, this can only come to fruition if the former partner is gone and they are long gone.
