Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Algo Así Quiero Yo by David Bustamante from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

She is a good girl

And he's a man made to her measure

From her window she saw him walking by

She followed him

'What do you want?' he asked her

Chorus 1

And she said

I want something like that

Someone to be better, yes

Something like you

When I saw you then I knew that

I want something like that

Someone to be better, yes

Something like you

When I saw you I knew that it was you

Verse 2

He has made a decision

And she has reached a conclusion

That when you think that you know everything

Someone comes to you and shows you something that you don't see

Chorus 2

And she said

I want something like that

Someone to be better, yes

Something like you

When I saw you then I knew

That I want something like that

Someone to be better, yes

Something like you

When I saw you I knew that it was you

Bridge

It's very easy to do if you want

Look in your heart

You just have to stand up

And face yourself

Chorus 3

I want something like that

Someone to be better, yes

Something like you

When I saw you then I knew that

I want something like that

Someone to be better, yes

Something like you

When I saw you then I knew that

I want something like that

SONG MEANING

Picture strolling through life thinking you've got it all figured out, when suddenly — bam! — someone crosses your path and flips your whole world into vivid color. That lightning-bolt moment is exactly what “Algo Así Quiero Yo” captures. In the story, a curious girl spots a confident guy from her window, follows her instinct, and blurts out that memorable line: “Algo así quiero yo” (“This is the kind of thing I want”). The song turns that spontaneous confession into a celebration of love at first sight, where both characters realize that the right person doesn’t just complete you, they upgrade you.

David Bustamante and Marta Sánchez trade verses like playful glances, reminding us that finding a partner is more than romance — it’s a catalyst for self-improvement. The lyrics urge listeners to search their own hearts, take a fearless stand, and recognize the person who helps them become the best version of themselves. It’s an upbeat anthem for anyone who’s ever felt that sudden spark and thought, “Yes, THAT is what I’ve been looking for!”
