Herida

Brenda K Starr's song 'Herida' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a woman who has fallen deeply in love, only to realize that the relationship is doomed from the start. The opening lines, 'Yo no se que hacer / Me enamore de ti / En un dia,' express the sudden and overwhelming nature of her feelings. Despite knowing that their love 'no podria ser,' she finds herself unable to let go, leading to a painful and secretive affair.

The chorus, 'Y asi yo vivo mi vida / Herida,' encapsulates the essence of the song. The word 'herida,' meaning 'wounded' in Spanish, is repeated throughout, emphasizing the deep emotional scars left by this unfulfilled love. The protagonist dreams of a life where her lover is always by her side, but reality forces her to confront the fact that he is leaving her for someone else. This duality of dreaming and suffering is a central theme, highlighting the internal conflict between hope and despair.

As the song progresses, the lyrics reveal a sense of resignation and acceptance. Lines like 'Debes entender / Que ya no seguire mintiendo' show her determination to stop living a lie, even though it means enduring more pain. The repeated phrase 'Me siento / Herida' in the closing lines underscores her ongoing struggle and the lasting impact of this love. Brenda K Starr's powerful vocals and emotive delivery bring these feelings to life, making 'Herida' a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the wounds that never fully heal.
