Terco means "stubborn" or "headstrong." It's a common word, but its use here is particularly engaging and relatable.
In the song, the singer admits, "Pero yo soy bien terco" (But I am very stubborn). Despite being ignored by his crush, he's determined to keep trying. This word perfectly captures the persistent, almost endearing, nature of his unrequited affection, making it memorable and a key to understanding his character in the song.
Have you ever been perfectly happy on your own, and then suddenly, bam! You get a huge crush on someone? That's exactly what Matisse and Bronco sing about in "Me Gana El Sentimiento." The song tells the story of someone who was content with their life until they saw a person's photos and fell head over heels. It's a classic tale of a modern, one-sided crush where the feelings are just too strong to ignore.
The singer feels completely overwhelmed by their emotions, confessing, "Es que me gana el sentimiento / Porque te miro y no te tengo" (The feeling overcomes me / Because I see you and I don't have you). They try to get the attention of their crush by sending messages, but they get ignored. Still, they admit they're stubborn and can't give up, all while dreaming of the day they can finally be together. It's a song about intense, hopeful, and slightly obsessive feelings that come with wanting someone you can't have.
