Quien Aguanta A Quien (feat. Jovanny Cadena)

Carin Leon's song 'Quien Aguanta A Quien' featuring Jovanny Cadena is a poignant exploration of the power dynamics and struggles within a romantic relationship. The lyrics delve into the theme of reciprocity and the consequences of one's actions, particularly in the context of a partnership where both parties may be contributing to a toxic cycle. The opening lines, 'Verdad que no es lo mismo / Hacer o que te hagan,' which translate to 'It's not the same / To do or to be done to,' set the stage for a discussion on the imbalance of actions and reactions between the partners.

The song continues to describe a situation where one partner feels they are always the one to bear the brunt of the other's actions, as suggested by the metaphor 'El que torea la avispa / Que aguante la picada,' meaning 'He who taunts the wasp / Must endure the sting.' This imagery conveys the idea that provoking certain situations will inevitably lead to consequences that one must be prepared to face. The narrator expresses frustration with being the scapegoat and dealing with the partner's 'malas copeadas' or 'bad coping mechanisms,' indicating a relationship fraught with blame and resentment.

The chorus emphasizes a warning that if things continue as they are, the relationship is unlikely to survive the year. The phrase 'Pa’ borracho yo soy borracho y medio' suggests that the narrator is willing to meet the partner's negative behavior with equal or greater force, hinting at a potentially destructive cycle. The repeated line 'Y vámonos topando a ver quién aguanta a quién' translates to 'Let's keep bumping into each other to see who can stand whom,' suggesting a challenge to see who will last in this tumultuous relationship. The song captures the essence of a relationship where both individuals test each other's limits, questioning who will endure or give up first.
