Te Siento Mia
Kalimba Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuando te me acercas no se que debo hacer
No se que debo decir no se como expresarme
Este sentimiento que me excita la sangre siento
Que quiero huir pero quiero acercarme
Tumbo barreras para hablarte de frente
Y demostrarte que por ti yo llegaría a
De pensar cuando me abrazas y te vuelves mía
Cambia cada cosa cuando tu amor
Cambia todo lo que siempre conocí
Es la delicia de esta nueva vida que
Amenaza con dejarme siempre junto a ti
Y darte amor tan solo imaginar
Que lo que era se regrese un día
Pero este sentimiento desvanece cuando
Me abrazas y te vuelves mía
Yo te siento mía
The lyrics of Kalimba's song "Te Siento Mia" are about the intense and confusing feelings that arise when you're attracted to someone. The singer describes how he doesn't know what to do or say when the object of his affection is near, and how he feels a rush of excitement in his blood that makes him want to both run away and get closer at the same time. He breaks down the barriers he has put up to approach the person and prove his feelings, even if it means forgetting his old life and changing his way of thinking. The chorus repeats the title of the song, "I feel you mine", emphasizing the possessiveness and intensity of the attraction.
The song captures the emotional rollercoaster of falling in love or having a strong crush, where every little thing the other person does seems to have a huge impact on your world. The lyrics also touched on the idea that being with that person changes your life in ways you couldn't have imagined before, and it's a delicious and sometimes scary prospect. The music and rhythm of the song are upbeat and catchy, adding to the sense of excitement and passion.
