Te Busqué
Nelly Furtado · Loose [2006]
I've been fast, I've been slow
Having no where to go
Missed the bus, missed the show
I've been down on my luck
I've felt like giving up
My life locked in the trunk
When it hurt way too much
Needed a reason to live
Some love inside me to give
I couldn't rest I had to keep on searching
[chorus:]
Te busqué
Debajo de las piedras y no te encontré
En la mañana fría y en la noche
Te busqué, hasta enloquecer
Pero tú llegaste a mi vida como una luz
Sanando las heridas de mi corazón
Y haciéndome sentir vivo otra vez
I've been too sad to speak
And too tired to eat
Been so low that I say
The world cut off my wings
I've been hurt by my past
But I feel the future in my dreams
And at last I wake up I'm not sure
I wanted to find a light
Something just didn't feel right
Needed an answer to end all my searchin'
[chorus:]
Te busqué
Debajo de las piedras y no te encontré
En la mañana fría y en la noche
Te busqué, hasta enloquecer
Pero tú llegaste a mi vida como una luz
Sanando las heridas de mi corazón
Y haciéndome sentir vivo otra vez
[Spoken:]
I look in the mirror, the picture's getting clearer
I wanna be myself, but does the world really need her?
I ache for the earth, I stop going to church
I seek god in the trees, makes me fall on my knees
My depression keeps building
Like a cup overfillin'
My hearts so rigid, I keep it in the fridge
It hurts so bad that I can't dry my eyes
Cause I keep on refilling it with the tears that I cry
[chorus:] [3x]
Te busqué
Debajo de las piedras y no te encontré
En la mañana fría y en la noche
Te busqué, hasta enloquecer
Pero tú llegaste a mi vida como una luz
Sanando las heridas de mi corazón
Y haciéndome sentir vivo otra vez
Te Busqué
Te Busqué stands as a standout track from Nelly Furtado's 2006 album Loose, marking a significant moment in her transition toward a more rhythmic, pop-oriented sound. Produced by Timbaland, the recording showcases Furtado's ability to blend Latin influences with contemporary R&B textures, a stylistic shift that defined much of her mid-career output. The song highlights her vocal versatility and the collaborative energy that characterized the Loose sessions, distinguishing it from her earlier folk-pop work. As part of a critically acclaimed album, this track contributes to a broader narrative of artistic evolution, demonstrating how Furtado successfully navigated changing musical landscapes while maintaining her distinct identity within the global pop genre.
