The Lyrics
“¿Por qué será? Sí no lo tienes más lo quieres. ¿Por qué será? Cuando lo tienes ya no quieres.”
The opening lines of the song are simple yet thought-provoking. Natalia Lafourcade wonders why it is that we always desire something more when we don’t have it, but once we have it, the desire fades away. It’s a reflection on human nature and our constant longing for what is just out of reach.
“El mundo no entiende de amores ya. Estoy tan cansada de esperar. Sí duermo despierto para bailar. Y tú no te decides por ninguna de las dos.”
In the pre-chorus, Natalia laments the world’s lack of understanding when it comes to love. She is tired of waiting for someone to make a decision. The line “sí duermo despierto para bailar” beautifully captures the feeling of restlessness and longing, dancing through sleepless nights. The final line implies that the person she sings about is unable to make a choice between two people or two paths in life.
“¿Por qué será? Sí estoy tus ojos van de viaje. ¿Por qué será? No estoy y me ven por todas partes.”
In the second verse, Natalia questions why it is that when she is present, the person’s attention wanders. But when she is absent, they see her everywhere. It highlights the complexity of human relationships and the desire to be seen and appreciated.
“El mundo no entiende de amores ya. Tu madre seguirá escuchando la misma historia en el teléfono. Sí duermes despiertas para pensar. Y tú no te decides por ninguna de las dos.”
The second pre-chorus delves deeper into the feeling of frustration and indecision. Natalia mentions how the world no longer understands love and how her love interest’s mother is tired of hearing the same story over the phone. The line “sí duermes despiertas para pensar” reveals the constant battle in their mind, unable to make a choice. It emphasizes the pain of being stuck in a love triangle.
“Ella es bonita, ella es bonita. Aunque tiene mal humor. Aunque no me quiere a mí. Ella es bonita, ella es bonita, ella es bonita. Aunque no me deje ir. Aunque no me quiere a mí. Ella es bonita.”
The hook of the song expresses a bittersweet sentiment. The person Natalia sings about is undeniably beautiful, even with their flaws. Although they may not love Natalia back or let her go, she acknowledges their beauty and finds herself captivated by it. It showcases a deep appreciation for someone despite the pain they may cause.
