Yo Quiero Un Amor Lyrics in English by Fanny Lu
Serenata is the Spanish word for "serenade". It refers to the beautiful tradition of singing a romantic song to one's beloved, often at night and sometimes accompanied by a guitar.
In "Yo Quiero Un Amor", Fanny Lu longs for this kind of old-fashioned, passionate gesture. When she sings "Un amor que me de serenata" (A love that gives me a serenade), she's expressing her desire for a partner who is not afraid to show their love in a grand, poetic, and musical way.
Have you ever been called a hopeless romantic? Fanny Lu definitely has! In this super fun Tropipop song, she sings about how everyone tells her she's "cursi, soñadora, irreal" [corny, a dreamer, unrealistic] and that she falls for a fairytale every time. But does she listen? Absolutely not! She proudly refuses to believe that real, passionate love doesn't exist, or that she can't feel "mariposa en el pecho" [butterflies in her chest].
Instead of getting cynical, she makes a list of exactly what she's looking for, and she's not shy about it. She wants a love that's full of big, romantic gestures. We're talking about someone "que me abrace sin pena" [that hugs me without shame], "que me bese en la calle" [that kisses me on the street], and even someone "que me dé serenata" [that serenades me]. She's determined to find this person, searching everywhere from "debajito del mar y hasta arriba en el sol" [under the sea and up in the sun]. It's a bold declaration of sticking to your romantic ideals, no matter what anyone else says.
