A Ti Mujer

Camela's song 'A Ti Mujer' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of betrayal and heartbreak. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who has discovered his partner's infidelity. The opening lines, 'Yo te ví / Con otro hombre a ti,' immediately set the stage for the narrative of deceit. The protagonist's realization that he has been deceived leads to a cascade of emotions, from anger to sorrow, as he declares, 'Me has engañado a mí, / Ya no te quiero.' This immediate rejection signifies the depth of his hurt and the finality of his decision to end the relationship.

The chorus, 'A ti mujer de fuego, / De fuego de fuego,' uses the metaphor of fire to describe the woman. Fire, in this context, symbolizes both the passion that once existed and the destructive nature of her betrayal. The repetition of 'de fuego' emphasizes the intensity of his feelings. His 'ira' or anger is described as a 'tormento,' a torment that consumes him. This vivid imagery captures the duality of love and hate, passion and pain, that often accompanies such emotional experiences.

In the latter part of the song, the protagonist pleads for relief from his suffering, '¡oh, señor!, / Ya apaga este dolor.' This plea highlights his desperation and the depth of his emotional wounds. Despite his pain, he resolutely tells his former lover, 'No, mi amor, / No me pidas perdón,' indicating that forgiveness is not an option and that he is determined to move on. The song concludes with a reiteration of 'A ti mujer de fuego,' bringing the focus back to the source of his anguish and the fiery emotions that continue to burn within him.
