Tu Reputacion

Ricardo Arjona's 'Tu Reputacion' delves into the themes of love, judgment, and acceptance. The song begins by addressing the subject's reputation, which is tainted by rumors and a history of numerous romantic encounters. The lyrics suggest that the woman in question has been judged harshly by society for her past, but the singer expresses a contrasting view, showing understanding and acceptance of her experiences.

Arjona's approach in the song is one of empathy and maturity. He acknowledges that everyone has a past and that it's unfair to expect perfection from anyone. The line 'Dime quien puede contra Cupido' (Tell me who can fight against Cupid) suggests that love is a powerful force that can't be controlled by societal expectations. The singer appreciates the passion and love he receives, attributing her skills in love to her past experiences, and even celebrates those who 'taught' her.

The song also touches on the theme of gossip and the damage it can do. Despite what others say, the singer sees the true tenderness in his partner and values what she brings to the relationship. He invites her to embrace their love without fear and to ignore the naysayers. The final lines of the chorus, 'Si otros han sido tu escuela, Yo sere tu graduacion, Cuando incluyas en la cama al corazon' (If others have been your school, I will be your graduation, When you include the heart in bed), suggest a deepening of their relationship, moving from physical to emotional intimacy.
