Esa

In 'Esa,' Eugenia Quevedo delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and betrayal. The song's protagonist is caught in a painful cycle of deception, where her partner repeatedly lies to her. The lyrics, 'Otra vez me volvés a mentir / Se te nota en la cara, ya no sabes fingir,' highlight the recurring nature of the deceit and the partner's inability to hide it anymore. This sets the stage for a narrative filled with heartache and frustration.

The central theme of the song revolves around the presence of 'esa,' a third person who continually disrupts the protagonist's relationship. The repeated line, 'Porque siempre aparece esa / Con una sola caricia y te quedas con esa,' underscores the power this other person holds over her partner. Despite the protagonist's deep feelings and sleepless nights spent thinking about her partner, she is left alone while he chooses 'esa.' This creates a stark contrast between her unwavering love and his fleeting affections.

Eugenia Quevedo's poignant delivery and the song's melancholic melody amplify the sense of despair and helplessness. The repetition of 'Y te quedas con esa' serves as a haunting reminder of the protagonist's unfulfilled desires and the emotional distance between her and her partner. The song captures the essence of longing and the pain of loving someone who is emotionally unavailable, making it a relatable anthem for anyone who has experienced similar heartache.
