Si Me Tenias

Gian Marco's 'Si Me Tenias' is a poignant ballad that delves into the feelings of betrayal and the aftermath of a love lost. The song's title, which translates to 'If You Had Me,' sets the stage for a narrative of heartbreak and disillusionment. Gian Marco, a Peruvian singer-songwriter known for his emotive delivery and lyrical depth, uses the song to question the reasons behind his lover's infidelity and the subsequent collapse of their relationship.

The lyrics express a deep sense of confusion and pain, questioning why the partner sought intimacy with someone else when they seemingly had a fulfilling relationship. The imagery of crossing the border into another's embrace and the metaphor of losing balance suggest a deliberate choice to abandon the security of their love. Gian Marco conveys a sense of resignation and acceptance as he sings about no longer missing the partner or desiring their presence. The song captures the moment of letting go, despite the lingering wish to confront the partner one last time to emphasize the futility of their actions.

'Si Me Tenias' is not just a story of heartbreak but also one of self-realization and growth. The protagonist ultimately wishes the unfaithful partner well, albeit with a hint of sarcasm, suggesting a paradise of lies. The song's final lines hint at a hope that the partner will one day realize the mistake they made in exchanging a genuine connection for fleeting fantasies. Gian Marco's heartfelt performance turns personal sorrow into a universal reflection on love, loss, and the journey to healing.
