Legendary salsa group started playing traditional folklore in the 1960s, later turning to tropical style. As the band was getting involved in the local scene, a growing number of followers made them one of the most popular acts all over the country. Led by singer Gustavo Aguado, the 22-piece act had the opportunity to go beyond Venezuelan frontiers while releasing its music in the U.S. and Europe in the late '90s.
Simplemente
Guaco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Para ver si así respiro
Para no volverme loco
Cuando te miro, cuando te miro
Quisiera borrar tu espacio
Cuando ataca mi egoísmo
Quiero no quererte tanto
Quisiera ser como un ave
Para así volar contigo
Descubrirme en manantiales
Ser tus noches especiales
En mis noches sin abrigo
Quisiera que despertaras
Para siempre aquí conmigo
Y como en un cuento de hadas
Que solo conmigo, solo contigo
Quisiera describirme entre tus brazos
Regalarte un cielo azul de vez en cuando
Quiero ser tu sombra, yo quiero ser tu sol
O simplemente ser tu amor
Quiero ser
Que quiero, que yo quiero que, y yo quiero amanecer
Quiero ser
Y brindarte mi cariño y mi querer
Quiero ser
Vente conmigo, vente conmigo, te voy a agradecer
Quiero ser
Simplemente entre tus brazos amanecer
Quiero ser
Ser tus noches especiales, volar contigo hasta amanecer
Quiero ser
Tu cariño, no existe sol y me falta el cielo
Quiero ser
Ven, ven que sin ti no puedo, ven que sin ti me muero
Quiero ser
Simplemente entre tus brazos, que yo quiero ser
The lyrics to Guaco's "Simplemente" speak to the intense connection and longing someone feels for another person. The first stanza expresses a desire to forget the person a little bit in order to breathe easier, as well as avoid feeling crazy whenever they are around. The next stanza reveals the conflicting nature of the singer's emotions, as they want to erase the object of their affection from their mind, yet can't seem to do so.
In the following stanza, the singer imagines themselves as a bird in order to fly alongside their love and discover new things together. They wish to be special to their love and ease their loneliness in the nights. The singer then shifts to a more romantic tone, yearning for the person to wake up next to them forever and be their happily ever after.
The final stanza describes a desire to be close to the person physically, to be their shadow and their sun, or simply to be their love. The chorus repeats a desire to be with the person, to offer their affection and longing, and to simply be with them at dawn. Overall, the song expresses the yearning for a deep connection and love that can overcome all obstacles.
