Querida Lyrics in English Juan Gabriel , Juanes

"Querida" feels like an urgent love letter set to music. Juan Gabriel pours his heart out, begging his querida (dear one) to come back and rescue him from a loneliness that “doesn’t sit well at all.” Every line circles back to the same raw truth: he cannot heal or even breathe properly without her presence. The repetition of mira mi soledad (look at my loneliness) paints a vivid picture of empty rooms and sleepless nights, while the duet with Juanes turns the plea into a powerful, two-voice chorus that amplifies the desperation.

Despite its lively melody, the song is really about heartbreak, persistence and hope. Juan Gabriel keeps asking “Dime cuándo tú vas a volver” (tell me when you will return), as if the answer might burst through the speakers at any moment. The message is simple yet relatable: love can illuminate an entire house, and its absence can leave even the brightest soul in darkness. Listening to “Querida” is like stepping into a passionate telenovela scene, where emotion refuses to let go until the missing lover finally walks through the door.
