Pa las que sea
Felipe Peláez
A Love That Defies All Odds
Felipe Peláez's song "Pa las que sea" is a passionate declaration of love that defies societal norms and obstacles. The lyrics tell the story of a man who has fallen deeply in love with a woman who is already in a relationship. Despite the complications and potential consequences, he is determined to win her heart and be with her. The song opens with the protagonist acknowledging that people have noticed his growing affection for the woman, and they are aware of his frequent visits to the town just to see her. He is labeled as a 'danger' to her life because she is already committed to someone else, but he is undeterred by these judgments.
The chorus of the song is a bold proclamation of his readiness to face any challenge for the sake of their love. He expresses his willingness to take her away to a place where they can be free from fears and societal pressures. The phrase "pa las que sea" translates to "for whatever comes," signifying his commitment to stand by her side through any situation. He urges her to follow him and leave behind any grudges or resentments, emphasizing the purity and strength of his love.
Throughout the song, Peláez uses vivid imagery and metaphors to convey the depth of his feelings. He dreams of being the love she has always desired and imagines a future where they can be together without any hindrances. The repeated line "el que se va pa Barranquilla pierde su silla" is a playful yet poignant reminder that her current boyfriend will lose his place if he doesn't hold on tightly. The song is a testament to the power of love and the lengths one is willing to go to be with the person they truly care about.
