At the time of its release, Selena was already a star on the Tejano market as the recipient of several Tejano Music Awards. This album was presented to a larger audience as the direction that Selena would take as a performer and trendsetter. The song "My Love," was written by Selena and samples from contemporary pop influences. Other songs like "Sukiyaki" (a cover of Kyu Sakamoto's 1963 hit), "Amame, Quiéreme" (her first duet with Pete Astudillo), and the cumbia "Besitos", played a pivotal role on how Selena mixed rhythm and sound, which became her trademark. Also, this was the first album to use the "Selena" logo instead of the capital "SELENA Y LOS DINOS".
I Could Fall in Love
Selena/Selena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you don't turn and walk away
'Cause the way I feel I might
Lose control and let you stay
'Cause I could take you in my arms
And never let go
I could fall in love (in love) with you (with you baby)
I can only wonder how
Touching you would make me feel
But if I take that chance right now
Tomorrow will you want me still? (baby, will you want me?)
So I should keep this to myself
And never let you know
I could fall in love (in love) with you
(I could fall in love with you)
I could fall in love (in love) with you (with you baby)
And I know it's not right
And I guess I should try to do what I should do
But I could fall in love, fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
Siempre estoy soñando en ti
Besando mis labios, acariciando mi piel
Abrazándome con ansias locas
Imaginando que me amas
Como yo podía amar a ti
So I should keep this to myself
And never let you know
I could fall in love (in love) with you
(I could fall in love with you)
I could fall in love (in love) with you (with you baby)
I could fall in love (fall in love)
I could fall in love (fall in love)
With you (you baby)
I could fall, fall in love (in love) with you (I could fall in love with you)
In the song "I Could Fall in Love" by Selena, the singer expresses her feelings of falling in love with someone, despite the fear of getting hurt. She conveys the message that she could lose control and keep that person close forever, but also has doubts about their future. Selena's vulnerable singing of the song brings out the depth of her emotions, and the lyrics are more potent as a result.
The song's opening verse sets the tone for the story that follows. Selena indicates that she could lose her heart tonight if her love interest chooses to stay. The next verse is more powerful, as Selena declares that she could fall in love with the person she's singing about. However, she is cautious, knowing that giving in to her feelings may lead to heartbreak. She wonders if taking the chance to be with that person now will be worth it in the end.
Selena's delivery, combined with the lyrics, gives the song a sense of urgency and intensity. She repeats the title phrase multiple times throughout the song, making it clear that the love she's describing is powerful, but also uncertain. It's a testament to Selena's skill as a performer and her ability to capture the complex emotions of falling in love.
Line by Line Meaning
I could lose my heart tonight
I am so drawn to you that if you don't leave, I might give in to the overwhelming emotions I feel and be taken over with love.
'Cause the way I feel I might
Lose control and let you stay
I feel so deeply for you that I might lose my composure and allow you to remain in my life, even if it may not be the best idea.
I could take you in my arms
And never let go
If given the chance, I would hold you so tightly that I would never want to let go of you and feel the love that I have for you.
I could fall in love (in love) with you
I could fall in love (in love) with you (with you baby)
I could very easily fall deeply in love with you and be head over heels for you.
I can only wonder how
Touching you would make me feel
But if I take that chance right now
Tomorrow will you want me still? (baby, will you want me?)
Thinking about how it would feel to be close to you is a tantalizing thought, but there is a chance you may not feel the same way tomorrow, which makes me hesitate to take the risk.
So I should keep this to myself
And never let you know
I know it's probably not in my best interest to tell you how I feel and keep these feelings to myself, as it is easier said than done.
And I know it's not right
And I guess I should try to do what I should do
But I could fall in love, fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
I am aware it may not be the most reasonable course of action, but I am enamored with you, and I cannot help but think about falling in love with you.
Siempre estoy soñando en ti
Besando mis labios, acariciando mi piel
Abrazándome con ansias locas
Imaginando que me amas
Como yo podía amar a ti
I always dream of you, embracing me with passion, kissing my lips, and caressing my skin. I imagine you love me, just as I could love you.
I could fall (fall) in love with you (with you baby)
I could fall deeply (fall) in love with you (with you baby), and I cannot help but feel that way.
