Kany García is born to a Spaniard father and Puerto Rican mother. García's father, Antonio, who gave up the priesthood when he met Shela, Encarnita García de Jesús, or Kany, grew up in a house where music was not only played, but also lived. The youngest of three children (Marishela and José Antonio, who is a lead cello player at the Sinfónica de Puerto Rico), Kany started learning classical music when she was just a child, studying cello, theory, solfeggio and chorus. At 13, she went to the Escuela Libre de Música, where the guitar would win her heart. This was followed by studies at Puerto Rico's Conservatorio de Música.
García known for being on the first season of Objetivo Fama, a singing talent contest held in Puerto Rico. During the show, Kany suffered a car accident, which forced her to abandon the competition. She was in intensive care for some time and managed to recover, although sensation in her left toe is limited.
After the accident, García turned into a much sought composer/songwriter. She wrote a song for Janina Irizarry's first album Todo De Mí. In 2006, García signed a recording contract with Sony BMG, releasing her debut album "Cualquier Día" (2007), which was a commercial success spawning four top 40 singles on the Billboard Latin Tracks. A year later, she released her second studio album, "Boleto De Entrada" (2009), which peaked within the top five of the Billboard Latin albums chart, and produced her first US Top 20 hit single, "Feliz" on Billboard Hot Latin Tracks. With great praise for her work, she was nominated for four Latin Grammy awards in 2008, and won Best Female Pop Vocal Album for "Cualquier Día" and Best New Artist.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Desde que me abrazó la soledad
Desde que te me fuiste sin maletas
Un viaje que es de ida y nada más
Vuelve
Que un beso nos quedó pendiente
Oh, vuelve
Si estuvieras aquí, sería tan fácil vivir
Darías azules de gris, que nublan mi mundo
Si estuvieras aquí, ya no dolería seguir
Buscándole el sentido a cada paso de este rumbo
Si tú estuvieras aquí
De a ver sabido de ese último día
Te habría hecho desayuno y conversar
Con un te quiero el tiempo frenaría
Pero el destino se negó a esperar
Vuelve
Que un beso nos quedó pendiente
Oh, vuelve
Que no estoy lista para perderte
Si estuvieras aquí, sería tan fácil vivir
Darías azules de gris, que nublan mi mundo
Si estuvieras aquí, ya no dolería seguir
Buscándole el sentido a cada paso de este rumbo
Si tú estuvieras aquí
Aquí conmigo
No, no no, vuelve
Que recordar no es suficiente
Oh, uelve
Que no estoy listo para perderte
Si estuvieras aquí, sería tan fácil vivir
Darías azules de gris, que nublan mi mundo
Si tú estuvieras aquí, ya no dolería seguir
Buscándole el sentido a cada paso de este rumbo
Si tú estuvieras aquí
Aquí conmigo
In Kany García's song "Aquí," the lyrics express a feeling of longing and emptiness after a loved one has left. The singer is counting the seconds, trapped in solitude since the departure of the person they loved, who left without any luggage, indicating a permanent farewell. The lyrics convey a sense of yearning for the person to return, emphasizing that there is an unfinished kiss between them, a symbol of the unfulfilled connection. The singer is not ready to let go and desperately wants the person to come back.
The chorus reveals the impact this person's presence had on the singer's life. If they were here, it would be easy to live, bringing color and vibrancy to their world that is currently clouded with sadness. Their absence causes pain and confusion as the singer searches for meaning in every step they take on their journey. This highlights how integral their presence was to the singer's sense of purpose and happiness.
The second verse expresses regret for not knowing that the last day spent together would be the final one. If they had known, the singer would have cherished the moment more, sharing a meal and engaging in heartfelt conversation. The lyrics convey a desire to stop time with a simple "I love you," a wish that goes unfulfilled due to the unstoppable force of destiny.
The repetition of the plea for the person to return intensifies the emotional impact of the lyrics. Remembering the person is not enough; the singer is not ready to lose them. The final repetition of the chorus reinforces the longing for their presence, with the hope that they would be there beside the singer.
Overall, "Aquí" encapsulates the pain of longing for someone who has left, the yearning for their return, and the difficulty of moving forward without them. It captures the complexities of love and loss, exploring the profound impact a single person can have on another's life.
