It’s about ‘I’m here‘, The single that marked a milestone in the Barranquillera race, consolidating it as one of the most influential Latin artists.

The meaning and lyrics of ‘I’m here’
This song exemplifies The complexity of overcoming a break. The artist goes through thoughts of recovering lost lovewith a letter full of pain and desire they feel after putting an end to a love story.
Full letter:
Already, I know you won’t come
Everything that was, time left behind
I know you won’t return
What happened to us will never repeat
A thousand years will not reach me
To erase and forget
And now I’m here, wanting to convert
The fields in city, mixing the sky with the sea
I know I let you escape, I know I lost you
Nothing can be the same
A thousand years can reach
(A thousand years can reach)
So you can forgive
I’m here, wanting you
Drowning between photos and notebooks
Between things and memories
I can’t understand
I’m going crazy
Changing a foot for my face
Tonight for the day and that
I can do nothing
The letters I wrote, I never sent them
You won’t want to know about me
I can’t understand how silly I was
It is a matter of time and faith
A thousand years with others, a thousand more
Are enough to love
If you still think about me
You know I’m still waiting for you, Yeh
I’m here, wanting you
Drowning between photos and notebooks
Between things and memories that
I’m going crazy
Changing a foot for my face
Tonight for the day and that
I’m here, wanting you
I’m here
I’m going crazy
I’m here, wanting you
Drowning
(Crazy)
