La reina es el rey

Alejandro Fernández's song "La reina es el rey" delves into the complexities of love and the emotional vulnerability it brings, even to the most stoic and traditionally 'strong' men. The lyrics challenge the conventional notion that men do not cry and are always in control. Fernández argues that these ideas are mere myths, as men, too, can be deeply affected by love, to the point of shedding tears and losing their composure over a woman.

The song's chorus emphasizes this vulnerability, depicting a man who, despite his outward bravery and societal expectations, finds himself crying and turning to alcohol to cope with the pain of lost or unrequited love. The imagery of a man humbling himself and even groveling for love underscores the transformative power of romantic emotions. This portrayal is a stark contrast to the traditional image of a man as a ruler or a king, suggesting that in matters of the heart, the woman becomes the true ruler, the 'queen' who holds the ultimate power.

Fernández's lyrics also touch on the idea that societal laws and norms, which often place men in positions of authority, are rendered meaningless in the face of love. A single kiss can overturn these roles, making the 'queen' the true 'king' in the relationship. This inversion of roles highlights the universal and egalitarian nature of love, where emotional connections transcend societal constructs and hierarchies. The song ultimately celebrates the profound impact that love can have on individuals, regardless of gender, and the way it can bring even the mightiest to their knees.
