Esperanza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Por ti suspiro carino por ti solo
Porque no has visto
Soy para ti cuerpo y alma
Mis dias pasan con tristeza
Y me pregunto porque me haces esto
En serio te digo
Soy para ti cuerpo y alma
Es tan dificil de creer
No puedo imaginar
Que tu rechaces mi amor
Acaso pretendes
Que pareces al final
Si al menos tuviera un chance mas
Mi vida esta haciendo pedazos
Tu sabes soy tuya
Ooh tomarme
Felizmente me rindo
Yo para ti cuerpo y alma
Es tan dificil de creer
No puedo imaginar
Que tu rechaces mi amor
Acaso pretendes
Pareces al final
Si al menos tuviera un chance mas
Mi vida esta haciendo pedazos
Tu sabes soy tuya
Puedes tomarme
Felizmente me rindo
Yo para ti cuerpo y alma
Soy para ti cuerpo y alma
Soy para ti cuerpo y alma
Cuerpo y alma

In "Body & Soul", Esperanza is pouring out her heart towards a person she loves deeply. She shares her sadness and vulnerability, expressing the pain she feels because this person has not reciprocated her feelings. Her heart is sad and alone, and she yearns for the attention and affection of this person. She declares that no one else can have her body and soul, as they belong solely to this person. Esperanza's days are filled with sadness and confusion, and she wonders why this person would reject her love. She expresses her willingness to give herself entirely to this person in body and soul, even if it means breaking herself apart, because of how much they mean to her.
The lyrics paint a picture of heartbreak, of a person who has given their all to someone they love but is not receiving the same love in return. Esperanza's passionate delivery and the yearning in her voice perfectly convey the emotions she is experiencing. The lyrics also showcase her vulnerability and willingness to be open with her feelings, giving listeners a glimpse into her heart.

I've had the opportunity to play with Esperanza a few times in the last couple of years, and all I can say is that she is phenomenal. You should have heard her scat on Ray Charles' arrangement of "Oh what a beautiful morning." Anyways, the piano player is Leo Genovese. Glad to be of help
@JoyHarrison
What instrument do you play with her? I absolutely love her music!
@1000kdg
The pianist is great too. Esperanza is out of this world.
@RCAvhstape
Her physical beauty is only the cherry on top of her gigantic cake of talent.

That would be one hell of a cherry, then. Haha. Damn, Esperanza, why you so beautiful?
@norrispulliam7810
i wonder if she still has her cherry?
@diltonandrade9550
Very, very, very good. She sings in English, Spanish and in my language, Portuguese from Brazil.
Esperanza é sensacional. Voz suave, além de ser excelente instrumentista.
Amazing!
