añoroI long for / I yearn for

Añoro comes from the verb añorar, meaning 'to long for' or 'to yearn for'. It's a beautiful and evocative word that expresses a deep sense of missing something or someone from the past.

In "Mi Fantasía," the singer uses añoro to convey his profound longing for the moments he shared with a lost love. He sings, "Aquellos momentos que hoy tanto añoro," highlighting the emotional weight of his memories and the pain of their absence. This word captures the song's melancholic and nostalgic tone perfectly.

Los Auténticos Decadentes bring us a song about the bittersweet sting of a love that was, perhaps, never truly real. Our singer thought he'd found love, falling head over heels, only to be left alone.

He's stuck remembering those sweet moments, now just a longing, realizing it was all a "fantasía fugaz" [fleeting fantasy]. He dreamed of happiness with this person, and now he's awake, back to reality, and they're gone. The song repeats this feeling of being left with only illusion, still hoping they'll return, even though deep down he suspects it was just a dream. It's that classic feeling of being promised a return – "Dijiste que pronto ibas a regresar" [You said you'd come back soon] – and holding onto that hope, even when your head tells you it was all just a beautiful mirage.
