Pensándote

Armando Hernandez's song 'Pensándote' delves into the emotional turmoil and longing experienced after a loved one departs. The repetitive nature of the lyrics, with phrases like 'Pensándote' (thinking of you) and 'Queriendote' (loving you), emphasizes the obsessive and consuming nature of the narrator's thoughts and feelings. This repetition mirrors the cyclical and relentless nature of heartache, where the mind is trapped in a loop of memories and desires for the absent loved one.

The song paints a vivid picture of the narrator's life post-departure, highlighting the inability to find peace or tranquility. The line 'Hace una semana que te fuiste y yo no puedo vivir tranquilo' (It's been a week since you left and I can't live peacefully) underscores the immediate and profound impact of the separation. The loved one is described as being constantly present in the narrator's mind, symbolizing their significant emotional and psychological hold.

Cultural nuances are also present in the song, particularly in the line 'Tu eres mi poder adquisitivo' (You are my purchasing power). This metaphor suggests that the loved one is not just a source of emotional fulfillment but also a symbol of the narrator's worth and stability. The plea for the loved one to return and the fear of being replaced ('Nunca me cambien por otro') further highlight the deep-seated insecurities and dependency that characterize the narrator's state of mind. Hernandez's musical style, often characterized by heartfelt and relatable lyrics, shines through in this poignant exploration of love and loss.
