LLORAR DUELE MAS

In 'LLORAR DUELE MAS,' El Tecla delves into the profound sorrow and regret that accompanies the end of a relationship. The song's title, which translates to 'Crying Hurts More,' sets the tone for a narrative filled with emotional introspection and self-blame. The repeated plea to 'Olvidame' (Forget me) underscores a desire to move past the pain, yet the lyrics reveal a struggle to do so.

The song recounts a love that was once perceived as perfect, with the narrator reflecting on how they took it for granted. The lines 'Tuve un amor es un efecto / era perfecto el amor de verdad' (I had a love, it was an effect / it was true love) highlight the initial idealization of the relationship. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that the narrator's inability to truly appreciate and nurture this love led to its demise. The admission 'Llorar duele mas / cuando se que fui yo / el que nunca entendió' (Crying hurts more / when I know it was me / who never understood) is a poignant acknowledgment of personal failure.

El Tecla's use of the accordion and cumbia rhythms adds a layer of cultural richness to the song, grounding its emotional weight in a familiar musical tradition. The repetition of 'acordeón, acordeón / la cumbia la traigo yo' serves as a reminder of the artist's roots and the genre's ability to convey deep emotions. The song's narrative arc, from the initial idealization to the painful realization of loss, is a universal story of love and regret, made all the more powerful by its heartfelt delivery and musical backdrop.

The final verses emphasize the enduring pain of the narrator, who now understands the depth of their love only as they face its loss. 'Y ahora se que te ame / me doy cuenta ya no te tendré / pues ya te vas' (And now I know I loved you / I realize I won't have you anymore / because you're leaving) captures the essence of the song's message: the most painful part of crying is the realization of one's own role in the heartbreak and the enduring nature of that regret.
