I have loved this song for so long. Part of this love stems from the person who introduced me to Chetes, a professor I was enamored with in college. But for me, this song appears to be written for a girl who he believes "todo lo tiene, completamente." She has everything, completely - meaning she is more than he could ask for, but somehow "parezca todo ser muy poco." She doesn't think much of what she has. Chetes paints a portrait of this "dream girl" who he can't erase from him mind and would only be able to be with if "el mundo fuera diferente." (If the world were different.) And because the world is different, a relationship between the two of them appears to have not worked as he is trying to remove her from his mind. He says that in their story, they never arrive at the end, which can be taken to mean several things, including they never get to marriage, they never had a fair ending, they never got to see where they could take each other, or they never really broke up to begin with given that she may have not felt the same way. He admits later in the song that if luck is with her, she only has to hope that everything will be put in it's place, if she's the person he wants to know, or the person he thinks she is. Basically he is looking at this girl and seeing everything, and you get the feeling that it may not be reciprocated. The reciprocation is unclear in that he mentions "if she's the person he wants to know." So he may have some belief or hope that his affections will be returned, but when he looks back, he notices that all of a sudden, everything stops but she keeps dreaming. The notion of dreaming is also unclear and could mean that her dreams take her elsewhere and that place becomes the reality, or that her dreams make them as a pair a reality.
