Siempre Te Vas

Agustín Lara's song 'Siempre Te Vas' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of abandonment and unrequited love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship where one partner is gradually distancing themselves, leaving the other in a state of despair and longing. The phrase 'Poco a poco, te has ido alejando' (Little by little, you have been distancing yourself) encapsulates the slow, painful process of separation, highlighting the emotional toll it takes on the person left behind.

The recurring line 'Siempre te vas' (You always leave) underscores the repetitive nature of this abandonment, suggesting a cycle of hope and disappointment. The imagery of 'Dos palomos hermanos que volaron de aquí' (Two sibling doves that flew away from here) evokes a sense of lost companionship and the warmth that once existed. This metaphor not only emphasizes the bond that has been broken but also the natural, almost inevitable, way in which it has dissolved.

Lara's poignant lyrics also touch on the feelings of helplessness and betrayal. The lines 'Porque quieres dejarme, porque quieres matarme' (Because you want to leave me, because you want to kill me) convey a sense of deliberate cruelty, as if the act of leaving is a conscious decision to inflict pain. This adds a layer of complexity to the song, suggesting that the departure is not just a passive act but a deliberate choice to hurt. The song, rich in emotional depth and lyrical beauty, captures the essence of heartache and the struggle to cope with the loss of a loved one.
