Atame la mirada
Francisco Céspedes Lyrics

The lyrics of Francisco Céspedes's song "Atame la mirada" are poignant and heartfelt. The title "Atame la mirada" means "bind my glare" or "tie my gaze" which suggests the power of the eyes and how captivating they can be. However, in the next line, the singer asks not to have their soul or heart tied down because it would take away their freedom and ultimately bring death to the relationship. The line "Pasa la vida por ti, saltándome el corazón" means that life goes by so quickly, and the singer's heart is aching because they feel like they have missed out on experiences as they were too busy accommodating the other. The following line "Por eso que nunca fuiste o siempre fuiste a lo de hoy ya no hables solo por ti" indicates that the singer is tired of the other person always speaking just for themselves and not considering the singer's point of view. The final two lines suggest that everyone is entitled to their opinion, and it is essential not to get too caught up in the one-sidedness of a relationship.

The song "Atame la mirada" was included in Francisco Céspedes's fourth album "Vida loca," which was released in 1998. The album was produced by Lulo Pérez and became a commercial success, reaching the top of the Mexican charts. In 2001, the album won the Latin Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Album. The song has been covered by various artists in Latin America, including Ana Belen and Ricardo Arjona.
