Ángela Leiva
The Heartache of Repeated Mistakes in Love
The song "Me Equivoqué Otra Vez (feat. Rodrigo Tapari)" by Angela Leiva is a poignant ballad that delves into the emotional turmoil of recognizing one's mistakes in a relationship. The lyrics express a deep sense of regret and the pain of realizing that love has been mishandled. Angela Leiva, known for her powerful voice and emotive performances, often explores themes of love, heartbreak, and personal growth in her music, and this song is no exception.
The opening lines set the tone for a confession of sorts, where the singer acknowledges the intention to love fully and give everything to the partner. However, the mention of 'responsabilidad afectiva' (emotional responsibility) suggests a betrayal or neglect that has led to the destruction of the singer's life. The phrase 'me equivoqué otra vez' (I made a mistake again) is a refrain that underscores the recurring nature of these errors in judgment or choices in love. The song captures the moment of realization that the partner was not as faithful or saintly as once believed.
The latter part of the song shifts to a dialogue between the two parties, with one asking for reassurance of love and the other grappling with the consequences of their actions. The imagery of being shot 'justo al corazón' (right in the heart) evokes the deep hurt caused by the partner's actions. The song concludes with a sense of finality and exhaustion, as the singer decides not to wait any longer, tired of making the same mistakes. The emotional weight of the song is carried by the vocal delivery, which conveys the anguish and resignation of someone who has loved deeply and been let down.
