A Veces Te Pienso (Como Dice El Dicho)

Brisa Carrillo's song 'A Veces Te Pienso (Como Dice El Dicho)' delves into the complex emotions of unspoken love and the internal struggle that comes with it. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is deeply infatuated but feels compelled to hide their feelings. The metaphor of 'mariposas volar' (butterflies flying) captures the nervous excitement that the presence of the loved one brings, while the 'adrenalina' (adrenaline) signifies the intense emotional rush that makes it hard to think of anyone else.

The song's chorus reveals the protagonist's habit of daydreaming about the person they love, creating 'mil historias sin final' (a thousand endless stories) in their mind. These fantasies are so vivid that they can almost feel the person's kisses and presence, but reality hits hard when they wake up to find that the person is not there. This juxtaposition between dreams and reality highlights the pain of unfulfilled love and the longing for something that seems just out of reach.

As the song progresses, the protagonist admits that their feelings are reciprocated but acknowledges that 'lo nuestro no puede ser' (our love cannot be). This admission brings a sense of resignation and fear of admitting their true feelings. The repeated line 'tengo que aceptar la realidad' (I have to accept reality) underscores the internal conflict between the desire to express love and the necessity to keep it hidden. The song ends on a poignant note, emphasizing that this love remains a dream and nothing more, encapsulating the bittersweet nature of unspoken affection.
