Cumbia Juan
Junto con la reina, junto con la reina
Junto con la reina de Argentina
¡Angela!
Mi vida
Sola no estarás, con el alma herida
No mi amor
Me has encontrado
Tú me cuidarás de todo lo malo
Tú me cuidarás y serás mi ángel
Si mi amor
Siempre a tu lado
Ven
Que te voy a buscar
Un espacio y un lugar
Aquí en mi corazón
Ven
No es casualidad
Te he buscado y aquí estás
Me llenas de pasión
Que voy hacer si tu no estás
Me parte el alma si tu te vas
Amada mía
Eres la luz de mi vida
Que voy hacer si tu no estás
Me parte el alma si tu te vas
Como el sol sin el día
Sin ti no hay vida
Y de Paraguay
Cumbia Juan
Junto con la reina de Argentina
Sabias
Que te amo
Sola no estarás, con el alma herida
Sola no estarás, triste, resentida
No mi amor
Me has encontrado
Tú me cuidarás de todo lo malo
Tú me cuidarás y serás mi ángel
Si mi amor
Siempre a tu lado
Ven
Que te voy a buscar
Un espacio y un lugar
Aquí en mi corazón
Ven
No es casualidad
Te he buscado y aquí estás
Me llenas de pasión
Que voy hacer si tu no estás
Me parte el alma si tu te vas
Amada mía
Eres la luz de mi vida
Que voy hacer si tu no estás
Me parte el alma si tu te vas
Como el sol sin el día
Sin ti no hay vida
"Que voy a hacer" is a song by Angela Leiva that expresses a passionate love that has been found and the fear of losing it. The opening lyrics mention Paraguay and Cumbia Juan, which could be a reference to the origins of the musical style that underlies the song. Then, Angela dedicates the rest of the lyrics to her lover, whom she assures won't be alone with a wounded soul. Angela is grateful that she has found someone who cares for her and she feels protected by their love. She invites her lover to make a home in her heart and affirms that their encounter is not a coincidence. She concludes by declaring that there is no life without their love.
The lyrics express a sense of completeness and a fear that the lover's absence would leave a void in Angela's life. They also suggest that the relationship is not trivial, but something essential that has become part of her being. There is a sense of vulnerability as Angela acknowledges her dependence on her lover, but it is also a sign of the depth of her feelings.
The song has been very popular in Argentina and other Latin American countries since its release in 2008. It has become a classic of modern cumbia and has been covered by other artists, including La Sonora Dinamita. Besides its musical qualities, the song is notable for its lyrics' ability to convey the intensity of the singer's affection.
