Si Te Vas

Deszaire's song 'Si Te Vas' is a powerful anthem against corruption and betrayal, capturing the frustration and anger of a populace betrayed by its leaders. The lyrics, penned by O. Ríos and set to music by A. Iturralde, O. Ríos, and R. Villegas, paint a vivid picture of a corrupt figure who has sold out the nation for personal gain. The song's narrative is a direct confrontation, accusing this figure of causing immense suffering and disillusionment among the people.

The chorus, 'Y si te vas, y sino estás, la vida seguirá, nadie extrañará a un asesino como vos,' translates to 'And if you go, and if you're not here, life will go on, no one will miss a murderer like you.' This stark message underscores the sentiment that the departure of such a corrupt individual would not be mourned; rather, it would be a relief. The song suggests that the corrupt leader's actions have led to bloodshed and suffering, and their absence would not change the course of life for the better or worse, as they have already caused irreparable damage.

The verses further elaborate on the betrayal, highlighting how the leader has forgotten those who died fighting for their rights and has instead chosen to deceive and manipulate. The line 'él con millones y en Bolivia la pobreza va creciendo' ('he with millions and in Bolivia poverty is growing') contrasts the wealth of the corrupt leader with the growing poverty in the country, emphasizing the disparity and injustice. The song's tone is one of defiance and resilience, calling out the corrupt leader and expressing a collective desire for justice and accountability.
