A que volviste

Armonía 10's song 'A que volviste' is a poignant expression of a love that has withered away, leaving behind only the remnants of what once was. The lyrics speak directly to a woman who has returned, seeking to rekindle a relationship that the singer feels is irreparably lost. The repeated question 'A que volviste mujer' translates to 'Why have you returned, woman,' emphasizing the singer's confusion and perhaps frustration about her return. The phrase 'si todo ya esta perdido' which means 'if everything is already lost,' further underscores the futility of her return.

The metaphor of a flower representing the heart is a powerful image in the song. The singer declares that 'la flor de mi corazon se marchito,' meaning 'the flower of my heart has withered.' This suggests that the love and affection he once felt have faded away, leaving no possibility for revival. The instruction to 'toma el camino que ayer te trajo a mi' which means 'take the path that brought you to me yesterday,' followed by 'y luego marchate' or 'and then leave,' is a clear indication that there is no room for reconciliation and that it is time for her to depart from his life for good.

Armonía 10, known for their cumbia music, often incorporates themes of love, heartbreak, and emotional experiences in their songs. 'A que volviste' is a classic example of their style, blending melancholic lyrics with the rhythmic beats characteristic of cumbia. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the finality of a love that cannot be salvaged, capturing the moment of letting go and moving on.
