Que Hago Contigo

Francisco Céspedes' song 'Que Hago Contigo' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of dealing with a lost love. The lyrics poignantly express the singer's struggle to move on from a relationship that has left a significant void in his life. The repeated question, 'Qué hago contigo, amor' (What do I do with you, love), underscores the confusion and helplessness he feels in the aftermath of the breakup. This refrain captures the essence of his internal conflict, as he grapples with the lingering presence of his former lover in his thoughts and emotions.

The song is rich with metaphors that convey the depth of his sorrow. Phrases like 'esta sensación de amargo vino' (this sensation of bitter wine) and 'esta soledad sentada al lado mío' (this loneliness sitting next to me) paint a vivid picture of his pain and isolation. These metaphors not only highlight the bitterness of his experience but also the pervasive nature of his loneliness, which seems to accompany him constantly. The mention of 'el bolero tuyo y mío no hace destino' (our bolero doesn't make destiny) suggests that despite the romantic and passionate nature of their relationship, it was not meant to last.

Céspedes' soulful delivery and the melancholic melody further amplify the song's emotional weight. His voice carries a sense of resignation and sorrow, making the listener feel the depth of his heartache. The song's structure, with its repetitive questioning and reflective tone, mirrors the cyclical nature of grief and the difficulty of finding closure. 'Que Hago Contigo' is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the challenging journey of moving forward when a significant relationship comes to an end.
