La Felicidad

Bushido's song 'La Felicidad' delves into the complex and often elusive nature of happiness. The lyrics reveal a deep sense of longing and uncertainty, as the narrator grapples with the fleeting presence of joy in their life. The opening lines, 'La felicidad me está enseñando que hoy no soy feliz,' set the tone for the song, highlighting the paradox that happiness itself is teaching the narrator about their own unhappiness. This paradox is further emphasized by the absence of a significant other, which causes happiness to 'huir' or flee, leaving the narrator in a state of unrest.

The song also explores the themes of trust and doubt. The tranquility that 'susurra que no me fie de ti' suggests a whispering voice of caution, warning the narrator not to fully trust their source of happiness. This mistrust is compounded by the fear of abandonment, as the narrator laments the possibility of their happiness leaving them at any moment. The repetition of 'Y si te miro, y si te siento, y si me acerco más a ti' reflects the narrator's desperate attempts to hold onto their happiness, despite the underlying fear and uncertainty.

Furthermore, 'La Felicidad' touches on the conflict between naivety and objectivity. The narrator's naivety 'grita en mis oídos que siempre estarás,' suggesting a hopeful yet unrealistic belief that happiness will always be present. In contrast, objectivity is personified as a 'mentirosa, terca y sin bondad,' painting a bleak picture of reality that constantly undermines the narrator's sense of self-worth. This internal struggle between hope and realism adds depth to the song, making it a poignant reflection on the human condition and the perpetual quest for happiness.
