Tripulante

Agrupación Cariño's song "Tripulante" delves into the emotional aftermath of a love story that has come to an end. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that has reached its conclusion, leaving the protagonist in a state of emotional turmoil. The opening lines, "Y así, se que se termino, esta historia de amor / Y hoy vivo en un abismo," set the tone for the song, expressing a deep sense of loss and confusion. The protagonist grapples with the end of the relationship, feeling as though they are living in an abyss, unable to comprehend what went wrong despite giving their all.

The recurring metaphor of being a "tripulante" or crew member on a journey of love is central to the song. The protagonist describes themselves as an eternal lover, always present and devoted, yet now left to navigate the seas of solitude. The lines "Yo soy tu amante tu eterno tripulante / Nena sabes que te quiero con el corazón" emphasize the depth of their affection and commitment, highlighting the pain of unreciprocated love. This metaphor not only underscores the sense of dedication but also the feeling of being adrift without the anchor of their beloved.

The song also touches on themes of regret and longing. The protagonist acknowledges that they may have treated their partner poorly, yet they insist that their love was genuine and abundant. The plea, "Así que más quieres de mí / Si ya todo te di y no encuentro explicación," reflects a desperate search for understanding and closure. The repeated invitation to solitude, "Te digo ven, ven soledad, ven, ven aquí," signifies an acceptance of loneliness as a companion in the wake of the relationship's end. Through its heartfelt lyrics and poignant metaphors, "Tripulante" captures the universal experience of love, loss, and the quest for meaning in the aftermath of heartbreak.
