Te Extraño
Benny Ibarra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
regresando de trabajar,
mil luces veo brillar
y en ti vuelvo a pensar
Días y días
masticando nuestra situación
sin encontrar la solución
Yo de aquí para allí
sin ir a ningún lugar
y el fin de semana reventar
Pero en el fin
ninguno pudo mejorar
Te extraño, te extraño...
Lejos
no dejas de estar cerca,
y siempre a tu puerta quiero regresar
Ya ves las cosas son,
ni tu, ni yo resistimos
ni la soledad,
ni la falta de libertad
No enfrentamos la situación
con la fuerza necesaria
para poder hacer
nuestra vida y nuestra canción...
para poder hacer
nuestra vida y nuestra canción...
Te extraño, te extraño..
The lyrics of Benny Ibarra's song Te Extraño speak of the songwriter's thoughts about missing someone as he walks through the city after work. He sees the lights of the city shining and it reminds him of that person he misses. The following lines speak of the days of trying to work out their situation and struggling to find a solution, all the while feeling the pain of missing that person. He talks about how he goes back and forth without going anywhere until the weekend comes, but nothing can compare to being with that person he misses.
The chorus repeats the phrase "te extraño" which means "I miss you" in English, emphasizing the songwriter's feelings of sadness and longing. He then talks about being physically far away, but still feeling close to that person and wanting to return to them. The song ends with the realization that neither of them had the strength or courage to face their situation head-on, leading to a lack of freedom and the inability to create a life and a song together.
The song touches on themes of love, loss, and regret. The songwriter expresses his vulnerability and the pain of missing someone he deeply cares about. The lyrics also emphasize the importance of communication, honesty, and taking action in a relationship, otherwise it can lead to feelings of imprisonment and regret.

Una canción muy bonita y sobre todo para recordar aquella persona que amas y que por alguna circunstancia y/o desición de la vida ya no se encuentra a tu lado pero sigue existiendo en el pensamiento y en tu corazón por siempre y para siempre, ya que ni el tiempo podría borrar los bellos momentos que pasas atravez de la currícula de la vida así cómo los malos momentos.Te amare por siempre, ALEJANDRA M. R.
