Que Le Importa A Nadie
El Arrebato
The Silent Suffering of Unrequited Love
El Arrebato's song "Que Le Importa A Nadie" delves deep into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the loneliness that accompanies it. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who is deeply affected by the departure of his beloved. He wanders through dark streets, hidden in the shadows, consumed by memories and longing. The imagery of being 'borracho de su recuerdo' (drunk on her memory) and 'oculto entre las sombras' (hidden in the shadows) emphasizes his state of despair and invisibility, as he feels like he has become nothing without her.
The chorus, "Que le importa a nadie si sufro por ella" (What does it matter to anyone if I suffer for her), highlights the protagonist's sense of isolation. He believes that no one cares about his pain and that people might even take pleasure in his suffering. This sentiment is further reinforced by the line "Seré la comidilla del veneno de sus lenguas" (I will be the gossip of their venomous tongues), suggesting that his heartbreak has become a source of entertainment for others. This reflects a broader commentary on societal indifference and the cruel nature of gossip.
The song also touches on the theme of lost identity. The protagonist admits that after her departure, he has 'perdido el norte' (lost his way) and is no longer himself. This loss of direction and self is a common experience in the aftermath of a significant emotional upheaval. El Arrebato's poignant lyrics and emotive delivery capture the essence of this universal human experience, making "Que Le Importa A Nadie" a powerful exploration of love, loss, and the often harsh judgment of society.
