If you had to pick just one treasure, would it be gold, glory, or love? In “Si Tuviera Que Elegir,” Latin pop legend Ricardo Montaner builds a playful yet passionate list of impossible choices – sunlight or her gaze, the Seven Wonders or seven nights of kisses, oxygen or her love – and always lands on the same answer: she wins every time. The song is a joyful declaration that no palace, no dream, not even breath itself can compete with the thrill of holding the person who makes his heart race.
Montaner’s lyrics sparkle with hyperbole to show how utterly inseparable he feels from his beloved. He prefers “her anguish one step from falling” to a life of comfort, proving that love’s highs and lows beat any safe alternative. By repeating “me quedo” – “I’ll stay” or “I choose” – he turns the chorus into a mantra of devotion, teaching us a romantic Spanish phrase while inviting us to sing along. In short, this track is a musical love letter that reminds us that when love is genuine, every other option fades into background noise.
