La Cura

Blas Cantó's 'La Cura' is a poignant ballad that delves into the emotional turmoil of a relationship reaching its inevitable end. The lyrics express a deep sense of resignation and the desire for closure, as the singer acknowledges the change in his feelings towards his partner. The opening lines set the tone, revealing that looking into his partner's eyes no longer elicits the same emotions as before, and he feels compelled to let go and move on, despite the pain it may cause.

The chorus of 'La Cura' introduces a paradoxical plea for hatred as a means of healing. Cantó implores his partner to hate him passionately, to erase him from her mind, suggesting that this intense emotion might be the only way for both of them to truly move on. He recognizes that while he wishes to remain friends and is grateful for their shared past, symbolized by the metaphor of being 'a star in the sea,' their paths have diverged. He wants his partner to find her own way, to 'sail' independently, rather than waiting for a tide that will never rise again.

The song's bridge intensifies the emotional plea, as Cantó asks to be hated not only to be forgotten but also to allow his partner to live fully and to inflict suffering upon himself, perhaps as a form of penance. The repeated request to be hated 'to get away from here' underscores the urgency and necessity of emotional separation. Blas Cantó's delivery of the lyrics, combined with the melancholic melody, captures the heartache of letting go and the paradoxical wish for animosity as a means to heal and set each other free.
