Que Te Den Candela

Bea Bronchal's song "Que Te Den Candela" is a powerful anthem of liberation and self-respect. The title itself, which translates to "Let Them Give You Fire," sets the tone for the song's fiery and unapologetic message. The lyrics tell the story of a woman who has been wronged by a deceitful and cowardly lover. She describes him as a "veneno" (poison) and expresses her disdain for his actions, emphasizing that he will face the consequences of his betrayal. The repeated refrain, "candela que te den candela," serves as a cathartic release, symbolizing the burning away of past hurts and the empowerment that comes from standing up for oneself.

In the first verse, the protagonist confronts her lover's empty apologies and insincere promises. She dismisses his words as meaningless, stating that "las palabras se las lleva el viento" (words are carried away by the wind). This line highlights the futility of his attempts to win her back with mere words, as actions speak louder. She demands that he learn from this experience and change his ways, reflecting a desire for genuine transformation rather than hollow remorse. The verse also touches on the pain of infidelity, as she questions how many times he has betrayed her love and sought comfort in the arms of others.

The second verse continues the theme of self-empowerment and closure. The protagonist acknowledges that her lover's gestures were worthless and that he failed to recognize her true value. She tells him to take his false love and leave, warning the other woman involved to remember this situation. The verse concludes with a powerful declaration of independence: she has moved on and left him in the past. The song's fiery refrain is repeated, reinforcing the message of strength and resilience. Bea Bronchal's passionate delivery and the song's vibrant energy make "Que Te Den Candela" a compelling anthem for anyone who has ever had to reclaim their power and self-worth after a toxic relationship.
