Aquí Sobro Yo

Dario Gomez's song 'Aquí Sobro Yo' delves into the painful experience of unrequited love and the realization of being unappreciated. The lyrics express the narrator's deep sorrow and frustration as he comes to terms with the fact that his love and efforts have been in vain. He gave his heart to someone who was seeking affection elsewhere, leaving him feeling surplus to requirements. This emotional turmoil is evident in lines like 'Te di mi amor y tú buscando a otro' (I gave you my love and you were looking for another) and 'Para que él no se sienta muy celoso, te digo adiós y así los dejo en paz' (So he doesn't feel too jealous, I say goodbye and leave you in peace).

The song also touches on the theme of self-worth and the difficult decision to walk away from a one-sided relationship. The narrator acknowledges that despite his love and tenderness, his partner did not value his affection. This is poignantly captured in the lines 'Si tu corazón no valora nada, amor me pedías y amor te sobro' (If your heart values nothing, you asked me for love and you had too much love). The realization that he is not needed and that his love is unappreciated leads him to the painful but necessary decision to leave, as expressed in 'Sufriré cuando este ausente al ver que todo acabo, pero tengo que ser fuerte aquí estoy sobrando yo' (I will suffer when I am absent seeing that everything is over, but I have to be strong, here I am surplus).

Dario Gomez, known as 'El Rey del Despecho' (The King of Heartbreak), is renowned for his poignant and heartfelt songs that resonate deeply with those who have experienced love and loss. His musical style often blends traditional Colombian music with themes of heartache and resilience. 'Aquí Sobro Yo' is a testament to his ability to capture the raw emotions of love and the strength required to move on from a relationship that no longer serves one's well-being.
