Pacto
Betzabeth
The Secret Pact of Forbidden Love
The song "Pacto" by Betzabeth delves into the complexities of an unexpected and forbidden love affair. The lyrics begin with the acknowledgment that neither party was seeking a serious relationship, yet they find themselves drawn to each other by a force that seems beyond their control. The song suggests that while destiny may have a plan for everyone, it doesn't seem to apply to them, as they met each other too late in their lives. This introduces the theme of star-crossed lovers who have found each other at an inopportune time.
The chorus repeatedly asks, "¿Y la culpa es de quién?" or "Whose fault is it?" emphasizing the innocence of their initial intentions. The physical and emotional connection between the two is described as a 'pact' made in the early hours, a secret bond that exists only between them, hidden from the rest of the world. The use of the word 'pact' suggests a deep, almost spiritual agreement that has been formed, one that is powerful and binding despite the societal norms that they are breaking.
The song also touches on the theme of longing and sacrifice. The protagonist expresses a desire to be with the other person, even though it is forbidden, and imagines a life with them, despite the complications it would bring to their current situations. The lyrics convey a sense of yearning and the willingness to give up everything for the sake of this love, highlighting the intensity and passion of their connection. The repeated lines about bringing down the moon and stars for the other person further illustrate the depth of their feelings and the lengths they are willing to go to for each other.
