Song Meaning of “Tengo una Muneca” by Gilberto Santa Rosa
“Tengo una Muneca” by Gilberto Santa Rosa is a smooth Salsa song about unrequited love. The singer expresses his intense feelings of love and desire for someone he can never have – an unattainable dream, often represented as a doll or muneca in Spanish. The singer is in awe of this person because they represent beauty and perfection to him, but he knows that his love will remain unreciprocated. He also expresses his longing for this person, wishing he could find a way to have her.
Throughout the song the singer expresses his love with desperation and sadness, coming to the realization that his one-sided love will never bring him the happiness he desires. Despite his sadness though, he is comforted by the thought of simply being able to admire her without ever getting involved. Fate and reality have kept them apart, yet he is able to take solace in simply being able to appreciate her beauty.
