Por Ella Yo

Abel Velazquez's song 'Por Ella Yo' is a heartfelt ode to the woman of his dreams, Karinuchis. The lyrics are a testament to the lengths he would go to for her, expressing a love so profound that it transcends ordinary boundaries. The song opens with a dedication, setting a deeply personal tone. Velazquez's willingness to lose himself in her, to be governed by her, and to transform his solitude into something beautiful for her sake, speaks volumes about his devotion. The imagery of giving her the 'cruza' of his hands and feet symbolizes a complete surrender to her will.

The chorus amplifies this sentiment, with Velazquez declaring that he would fabricate eclipses and descend into the depths of his heart's inferno for her. This metaphorical language illustrates the intensity of his emotions, suggesting that he would endure any hardship or create any wonder just to see her happy. The repeated line 'Por ella yo' emphasizes the central theme of the song: everything he does, he does for her. His love is so powerful that it affects his very soul, as seen in the lines about feeling his soul being carried away when he looks into her eyes and his love dying when she is sad.

The song also explores the idea of self-sacrifice. Velazquez sings about walking on the sea, seeking her gaze, and even stripping his skin for her to tread upon. These hyperbolic expressions highlight the extent of his willingness to endure pain and discomfort for her happiness. The poignant line about becoming a pretext for her sighs or a tear that acknowledges he is not the man she seeks, adds a layer of melancholy, suggesting that his love might be unrequited. Despite this, he is willing to live for her, even if she does not love him back, encapsulating the theme of unconditional love and devotion.
