Como un idiota is one of the first songs I had composed in 2010, somewhere in March. It is a theme of someone who suffers for an unrequited love, but has the hope that someday that love will be given to him. I was not in love or anything, if there were girls who caught my attention but nothing serious at that time simply knowing how sensitive and weak I could be to emotions I did not want a relationship in which they could hurt me too much. But all my friends believed that I was madly in love with a friend and as I always composed songs about love (not because I felt it but it was something normal in my tastes at that time) very quickly the idea became popular among my close friends that I liked a certain girl with whom I lived talking all day long.
My cousin Jose Quintana is co-writer on this song, he simplified it because my first draft of the song was super loaded with lyrics in the words of the same told me, you're not Arjona buddy that works for him. And that night we worked on a shorter and simpler version but with the same feeling and melancholy. I loved the result and well I came to mind these days because now my adult self is living a bit that situation hehehehe. Who would have thought that more than 10 years ago I brought up a topic that was not for anyone and with which today I feel more than identified haha. The paths of life can be strange.
If you have ever had feelings for a friend that are not reciprocated, maybe you can relate. I hope you enjoy this acoustic single. I won't give any more personal details about it haha. Happy day to you

Como un Idiota
Aquí estoy yo esperando
A que notes mi existencia
Aun que sea un segundo
Detrás de tu espalda
como el amigo fiel
pero no sabes que me muero
por ser el dueño de tu piel
Estoy aquí esperando por ti
Aunque sea una eternidad
Yo siempre estaré aquí
Aunque tal vez no ocurra
Que de mi te vayas a enamorar
Mi esperanza confía
De que algún dia pasara
Esperando la oportunidad
Que tu corazón me quiera dar
De que te des cuenta de que
Nadie te va amar como yo
English
Like an Idiot
Here I am waiting for you
For you to notice my existence
Even if it's just for a second
Behind your back
like a faithful friend
But don't you know that I'm dying
to be the owner of your skin
I'm here waiting for you
Even if it's an eternity
I'll always be here
Though it may not happen
That you'll fall in love with me
My hope is confident
That someday it will happen
Waiting for the opportunity
That your heart wants to give me
That you realize that
No one will love you like me
