Te Esperaba is a romantic ballad where Carlos Rivera tells the story of loving someone before even meeting them. Through poetic images – writing verses to the sky, calling out with empty hugs, saving an empty spot on the bed – the singer confesses that he asked the universe for this person and carried their silhouette in his dreams. Every day he could almost feel their eyes and their soul shining from afar, so when the long-awaited arrival finally happens, he recognizes them instantly as the love he always pictured.
The song celebrates faith in destiny. Rivera admits that some might call it madness, yet he never doubted the fact that his heart was keeping a special space ready. Meeting the loved one feels like raising a long-lost flag at the end of a personal battle, turning all that hope into living, breathing love. "Te Esperaba" gently reminds us that believing in love can guide us through life’s wars until the moment when imagination and reality happily collide.
