Deseo
Luis Eduardo Aute Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Deseo es el uno,
deseo es la idea,
deseo es el surco
que deja una estrella.
Deseo es espejo,
deseo es enigma,
deseo es el verbo
que engendra la vida.
Deseo es la pregunta
que no tiene respuesta;
deseo, deseo,
deseo es...
deseo es...
ese amor que no quiere ser un
sentimiento
si no es para observarse en el
conocimiento,
deseo es...
deseo es...
Deseo es eterno,
deseo es principio,
deseo es encuentro
con el infinito.
Deseo es el fuego,
deseo es el rayo,
deseo es el beso




de signos contrarios
Deseo es la pregunta...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Luis Eduardo Aute's song "Deseo" speak about the concept and nature of desire. In the opening lines, the song describes desire as the foundation upon which everything else rests. It is not only an idea but a guiding force that shapes one's existence. The stars that leave their trail in the sky are representative of this path that desire creates. Desire is likened to a mirror, a mystery that engenders life, and a verb that denotes action. The nature of desire is contrasted with the concept of knowledge. While desire is all-consuming and egoistic, knowledge is necessary for its observation and understanding. The final lines repeat the central question of the song - What is the nature of desire?


The lyrics of "Deseo" are beautifully crafted and thought-provoking. The imagery used is both profound and accessible, making the song's message relatable. It is a common theme in poetry and music to explore the nature of desire, but Aute's interpretation is unique. He seems to suggest that desire is an integral part of the human experience, and that its contradictions are not to be ignored. The song speaks to the human dilemma of wanting without understanding, of desiring both the impossible and the mundane. "Deseo" is a meditation on the nature of longing and our constant pursuit of the unknown.
