Whenever Wherever
Estefan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We could both make fun of distance
Lucky that I love a foreign land for
The lucky fact of your existence
Baby I would climb the Andes solely
To count the freckles on your body
Never could imagine there were only
Can't you see
I'm at your feet
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
There over, hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear
Lucky that my lips not only mumble
They spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
To run for cover when I need it
And these two eyes that for no other
The day you leave will cry a river
At your feet
I'm at your feet
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
Thereover, hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear
Think out loud
Say it again
Tell me one more time
That you'll live
Lost in my eyes
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
There over, hereunder
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
There over, hereunder
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel
The lyrics of Gloria Estefan's "Whenever, Wherever" express the depth of love and devotion between two people who come from different parts of the world. The opening lines "Lucky you were born that far away so, we could both make fun of distance" sets the tone of the song, highlighting the physical distance between them but also emphasizing the positive aspect of their geographical locations. The song is an ode to how love can conquer miles and distance, and that physical distance cannot hinder a true connection.
The second verse of the song expresses the singer's yearning for their partner's physical presence, as they would "climb the Andes solely to count the freckles on [their] body." The lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to go to great lengths to be with their partner, emphasizing that distance is not a barrier for them. Additionally, the memorable lines "Lucky that my breasts are small and humble so you don't confuse them with mountains" possess a dual meaning, as Estefan references both herself as a petite woman from Cuba and the mountains that inspired her lyrics.
Overall, "Whenever, Wherever" is a passionate love song that celebrates the beauty of love without boundaries. The lyrics of the song contain compelling imagery that enhances the message of the song.
