Y Como Quieres Que Te Quiera

The song "Y Como Quieres Que Te Quiera" by Banda El Recodo De Cruz Lizárraga is a poignant expression of unrequited love and the pain of emotional neglect. The lyrics repeatedly question how the singer is expected to love someone who has never shown love in return. This rhetorical question underscores the frustration and heartache of loving someone who does not reciprocate those feelings. The phrase 'tu no sabes vida mia, lo mucho que yo eh sufrido' translates to 'you don't know, my life, how much I have suffered,' which emphasizes the depth of the singer's emotional turmoil.

Banda El Recodo, known for their traditional Mexican banda music, often incorporates themes of love, heartbreak, and personal experiences into their songs. The repetition of the lyrics in this song serves to highlight the ongoing struggle the singer faces in dealing with one-sided affection. The mention of fear ('el miedo que me has tenido') suggests that there may be an underlying reason for the lack of love, possibly hinting at a deeper emotional barrier in the other person.

The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of loving someone without being loved back. It captures the essence of longing and the desire for mutual affection, while also expressing the confusion and desire for clarity ('yo lo que quiero saber que es lo que quieres de mi?') from the person they love. The song's emotional weight is carried not just by the lyrics but also by the passionate delivery typical of banda music, which often features powerful brass instrumentation and strong vocal performances.
