Donde Quiero Estar
Julieta Venegas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dices que no hay forma de saber
Lo que estoy pensando
dices que tú nunca sabes si
Quiero esto o lo otro
Oh no, no, no, no, no
Pero no hay ningún lugar donde prefiero estar
Dices que nunca te digo lo que siento
Oh no, no, no

Dices que soy incierta y yo

Sé que a veces no te digo
Más te quiero bien mi niño
Es aquí donde quiero estar
Vamos ya por buen camino

Dices que siempre estás
Dudando si me quedo o no, no, no
Dices que nunca te digo
Si quiero esto o lo otro
Oh no, no, no, no, no
Pero no hay ningún lugar
Donde prefiero estar

Sé que a veces no te digo
Mas te quiero bien mi niño
Es aquí donde quiero estar
Vamos ya por buen camino

Sé que a veces no te digo
Mas te quiero bien mi niño
Es aquí donde quiero estar
Vamos ya por buen camino

Es aquí donde quiero estar

Sé que a veces no te digo

Mas te quiero bien mi niño
Sé que a veces no te digo

Overall Meaning

In the song Donde Quiero Estar, Julieta Venegas sings about the difficulty of expressing her feelings to her lover. She begins by acknowledging her lover's frustration with not being able to know what she is thinking or what she wants. Even though she may seem uncertain or indecisive, there is no place she would rather be than with her lover. Venegas's repetition of "no" in the first verse and throughout the song suggests reluctance to share her thoughts or feelings, but it is clear that despite this, she is happy where she is.

The chorus repeats the sentiment that despite her communication struggles, she wants to be with her lover because it is where she belongs. The second verse continues to highlight her hesitation in expressing herself, but Venegas reassures her lover that she does love and appreciate him. The repetition of "es aquí donde quiero estar" (here is where I want to be) emphasizes the importance of being present with her lover, even if she struggles to communicate her feelings.
