Many Spanish duets are passionate because it’s part of the culture. This song is no exception, and they’re singing to each other about feeling alive again after heartbreak.

I had to include this Spanish duet because it’s one of my all time favorite songs. The melody and lyrics are engaging and it’s great practice to act it out with a family member or friend.
It’s a conversation that a man and a woman are having over the phone. She narrates how long it’s been since he has seen him and how hurt she is by him. Then he calls and the song gets started.
It’s sung by Pimpinela, an Argentine duo known for singing romantic songs even though they are brother and sister in real life.
