Guatemorfosis Lyrics in English by Gaby Moreno
Atesorar is a beautiful verb that means "to treasure" or "to cherish". It's derived from the noun tesoro, which means "treasure", so it literally means to treat something like a treasure.
In the song, Gaby Moreno sings "Hoy es todo lo que tengo / Y lo voy a atesorar" (Today is all I have / And I'm going to treasure it). She uses this word to express a deep appreciation for the present moment, highlighting a powerful and mindful message within the lyrics.
Gaby Moreno's "Guatemorfosis" is a powerful song about finding your place and celebrating who you are, no matter where you end up. She sings about a journey that brought her to where she is now, a path that "No conoce las fronteras" [knows no borders]. It's a journey fueled by passion and hope, even when carrying "mis temores, ilusiones y los restos del ayer" [my fears, illusions, and the remains of yesterday].
This isn't just a song about arriving, it's about belonging. She declares that joy and culture are part of her very being: "Y río y bailo / Está en mis venas" [And I laugh and dance / It's in my veins]. This feeling of home isn't about a physical place as much as a state of mind. She finds strength in connection with others—"Yo de tu mano, tú de la mía / No hay nada que temer" [Me holding your hand, you holding mine / There is nothing to fear]—and decides to live fully in the present, because being happy is "el remedio / Que todo lo puede mejorar" [the remedy / that can make everything better].
