Katie James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mi espacio y mi tiempo y mi soledad
Cuántas veces anhelé
Que no estuvieras ahí, que me dejaras en paz
Tus mal genios tu desorden sin remedio
Tus ganas de dormir y yo con ganas
Tus manías ahora cómo las extrañoYa no quiero esperar otra semana
Para volverte a besar
Para volverte a sentir
Para volverte a reír
Para volverte mm mm mm mm mm
mío otra vez
Para volverte a sentir
Para yo verte reír
Para volverte mm mm mm mm mm mm
mío otra vez
Cuántas veces esperé
en vano que un día hicieras el café por mí
Cuántas cantaletas yo te di
por cosas tontas y ahora estoy lejos de ti
Mis mal genios mi desorden sin remedio
Mis ganas de dormir y tú con ganas
Tus manías ahora cómo las extraño
Ya no quiero esperar otra semana
Para volverte a besar
In Katie James's song ¡cuántas veces!, the singer is reflecting on a past relationship and the mixed feelings she had about her partner. The lyrics express her frustration with feeling suffocated and the desire for space and solitude. The lines "Cuántas veces extrañé mi espacio y mi tiempo y mi soledad" (How many times did I miss my space, my time, and my solitude) and "Cuántas veces anhelé que no estuvieras ahí, que me dejaras en paz" (How many times did I long for you not to be there, to leave me alone) illustrate this feeling of being trapped and wanting to be free.
However, amidst these negative feelings, there are also hints of longing and nostalgia for the relationship. The lines "Para volverte a besar" (To kiss you again) and "Para volverte a sentir" (To feel you again) express a desire to reunite with the person she's singing about. This conflict between wanting space and missing the person is further emphasized in the chorus, where she sings "Para volverte mm mm mm mm mm mío otra vez" (To have you all to myself again).
Overall, the song presents the complex emotions that often accompany the end of a relationship, where there can be a mix of negative and positive feelings towards the person.
