Como Has Hecho

The song 'Como Has Hecho' by Gaitan Castro delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the confusion it brings. The lyrics express a deep sense of loss and bewilderment, as the singer grapples with the realization that the love they feel is not reciprocated. The opening lines, 'Devia saber que al amar-te yo me perdia' (I should have known that by loving you I was losing myself), set the tone for a journey of self-reflection and the pain of loving someone whose world is no longer aligned with theirs.

The chorus, 'Como has hecho para amar-te asi / Como has hecho que te quiera asi / Como has hecho me matastes amor' (How have you done to love you like this / How have you done that I love you like this / How have you done you killed me, love), echoes the desperation and intensity of the singer's feelings. The repetition of 'Como has hecho' (How have you done) emphasizes the singer's struggle to understand how they could have fallen so deeply in love and how this love could have such a devastating impact on their life.

The song's narrative is a common theme in many romantic ballads, where the protagonist is left questioning the nature of their feelings and the actions of the person they love. Gaitan Castro's musical style, which often incorporates elements of Andean folk music, adds a layer of cultural richness to the song, potentially resonating with listeners who have experienced similar heartaches. The plaintive melody and heartfelt delivery of the lyrics invite empathy and reflection on the complexities of love and the human condition.
