El día que me quieras
Julio Iglesias & Nana Mouskouri Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Acaricia mi ensueño
El suave murmullo de tu suspirar
Cómo ríe la vida
Si tus ojos negros me quieren mirar
Y si es mío el amparo
De tu risa leve que es como un cantar
Ella aquieta mi herida
Todo, todo se olvida

El día que me quieras
La rosa que engalana
Se vestirá de fiesta
Con su mejor color
Y al viento las campanas
Dirán que ya eres mía
Y locas las fontanas
Se contarán su amor

La noche que me quieras
Desde el azul del cielo
Las estrellas celosas
Nos mirarán pasar
Y un rayo misterioso
Hará nido en tu pelo




Luciérnaga curiosa que verá
Que eres mi consuelo

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Julio Iglesias's "El Dia Que Me Quieras" (The Day You Love Me) speak of the dreamy sensation that washes over him when he hears the gentle murmur of his lover's breath. He says that life itself echoes with laughter when he looks into her dark eyes. Her sweet laughter is like a song that soothes his wounds and makes him forget everything else.


In the chorus, the poet describes the joy that he feels when she loves him back. He says that the rose which decorates their love will put on its best attire, and the wind will ring the bells, announcing that she is his. The fountains will become mad with love, overflowing with emotion at the sight of their romance. The poet urges his love to embrace him passionately, and when she does, the stars will shine upon them as they walk through the blue sky. A curious firefly will light upon her head, as if it will become a loving witness to their story.


"El Dia Que Me Quieras" is romantic to the core. The poet sings of the day his love will finally reciprocate, and he will become whole again. The lyrics talk about the healing power of love and how it can transform even the most mundane things into celestial wonders. It is a hymn to the joy that love brings, and the promise it represents.

Cada vez que escucho esta canción vuelven a mi mete recuerdos tristes. Veo a mi papá llorar desconsoladamente cuando falleció mi mamá. Aún sigue doliendo como el primer día y más después de 22 años.
