Tu Precio

Bienvenido Granda's song 'Tu Precio' is a poignant exploration of love, betrayal, and the emotional toll of romantic relationships. The lyrics convey a deep sense of regret and sorrow as the narrator reflects on the price he paid for a love that was ultimately unreciprocated and fleeting. The phrase 'Tu precio' (Your price) serves as a metaphor for the emotional and perhaps material cost of the relationship, suggesting that the narrator feels he has given too much of himself for too little in return.

The song's narrative reveals a story of unfulfilled desires and shattered dreams. The narrator laments that he could have paid the price of the relationship without giving away his heart, indicating a sense of regret for having invested so deeply in someone who did not value his love. The mention of 'romance de ocasión' (romance of occasion) underscores the transient and superficial nature of the relationship, contrasting sharply with the narrator's deep emotional investment.

Granda's soulful delivery and the melancholic tone of the song amplify the sense of betrayal and heartbreak. The lyrics 'Mi alma has destrozado' (You have destroyed my soul) and 'El amor que te di, por otro lo has cambiado' (The love I gave you, you have exchanged for another) highlight the profound impact of the betrayal on the narrator's emotional well-being. The final lines, 'es demasiado tarde, muy caro lo has cobrado' (it is too late, you have charged too much), encapsulate the ultimate realization that the cost of the relationship was far too high, leaving the narrator with a sense of irreversible loss.
