Fui Feliz (feat. 18 Kilates)
Flor Vigna
The Bittersweet Cost of Love and Loss
Flor Vigna's song "Fui Feliz (feat. 18 Kilates)" delves into the complex emotions that come with love and heartbreak. The lyrics express a desire to numb feelings, as seen in the line, "Quisiera pagar con un botón mis sentimientos," which translates to wanting to turn off emotions with the push of a button. This sentiment is echoed by the featured artist, 18 Kilates, who admits to having a heart of cement, indicating emotional coldness as a defense mechanism.
The song's chorus reveals the high emotional cost of both loving and forgetting someone. Vigna sings, "Y aunque fui feliz, pagué muy caro el precio por amarte," meaning that although she was happy, she paid a steep price for loving. The pain of forgetting is even more expensive, yet she refuses to hate the person, choosing instead to simply miss them. This highlights the enduring impact of a significant relationship, where the memories linger even after the love has faded.
The lyrics also touch on the duality of the loved one, described as both a demon and an angel. This juxtaposition underscores the complexity of the relationship, filled with both joy and suffering. The repeated refrain of paying a high price for love and the refusal to harbor hatred encapsulates the bittersweet nature of the experience. The song captures the essence of love's enduring impact, even when it comes with pain and loss.
