Se me van las ganas

Alejandro Fernández's song 'Se me van las ganas' delves into the emotional journey of a person who transitions from intense infatuation to a state of disillusionment and clarity. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who was once so enamored that they wrote love verses, only to later realize that their feelings were misplaced. The phrase 'como andaría de loco por ti' (how crazy I was for you) sets the tone for the initial madness of love, highlighting the depth of their obsession.

As the song progresses, the narrator reflects on their past actions and emotions, acknowledging that their muse was not worthy of such adoration. The lines 'porque resulta que tu no eres musa ni yo poeta' (because it turns out you are not a muse, nor am I a poet) signify a moment of self-awareness and the shattering of illusions. This realization is further emphasized by the narrator's recognition of the other person's 'intrascendencia' (insignificance) and how they took advantage of the narrator's vulnerability.

The culmination of the song is a powerful declaration of regained clarity and emotional detachment. The narrator, now fully aware and no longer under the spell of infatuation, states 'hoy que estoy conciente, nada más de verte se me van las ganas' (today that I am conscious, just seeing you makes me lose the desire). This final line encapsulates the essence of the song, portraying a journey from blind love to a clear-eyed understanding of the other person's true nature. Alejandro Fernández masterfully captures the bittersweet experience of falling out of love and the empowerment that comes with emotional clarity.
