Aún Te Quiero

Attaque 77's song 'Aún Te Quiero' delves into the tumultuous emotions following a breakup, capturing the raw and unfiltered feelings of betrayal and lingering affection. The lyrics present a stark dichotomy: either you are with me, or you are not. This binary perspective underscores the singer's struggle to come to terms with the end of a relationship that he once believed was solid. The repetition of 'las cosas son simples' (things are simple) highlights his attempt to rationalize the situation, even as his emotions tell a different story.

The song's narrative reveals a deep sense of betrayal, as the singer accuses his partner of infidelity, calling her 'muy sucia' (very dirty) and 'muy puta' (very slutty). These harsh words reflect his anger and hurt, as he grapples with the realization that his partner could not remain faithful. Despite this, he admits to still having feelings for her, as evidenced by the repeated line 'Aún te quiero' (I still love you). This contradiction between his anger and lingering affection creates a complex emotional landscape, illustrating the difficulty of moving on from a relationship that has ended badly.

Adding another layer to the narrative, the singer confesses to his own infidelity, revealing that he was involved with his partner's best friend. This revelation complicates the moral high ground he initially seems to take, suggesting that both parties were at fault in the relationship's demise. The song ends on a note of resignation and unresolved feelings, encapsulated in the poignant refrain '¡Qué pena, nena! Aún te quiero' (What a shame, baby! I still love you). This closing line encapsulates the bittersweet nature of the song, where love and regret coexist in a painful but honest reflection on a failed relationship.
