Aparentemente

Gilberto Santa Rosa's song 'Aparentemente' delves into the complexities of love, relationships, and the facades people maintain to appear happy. The lyrics tell the story of a woman who seems to have found happiness with another man, but the narrator reveals that this happiness is merely an illusion. Despite her outward appearance of contentment, she still harbors deep feelings for the narrator, evidenced by the 'brillo en la mirada' (sparkle in her eyes) and her longing for his touch.

The song's chorus emphasizes the contrast between appearance and reality. While the woman ostensibly loves and cares for her current partner, the narrator suggests that if the walls of their shared space could talk, they would reveal a different story. The repeated phrase 'aparentemente tu le quieres tu le amas, pero no eres feliz' (apparently you love him, but you are not happy) underscores the theme of hidden emotions and unfulfilled desires. The narrator believes that their mutual longing has only grown stronger over the years, indicating a deep, unresolved connection between them.

'Aparentemente' also touches on the inevitability of their situation. The lyrics suggest that they must continue playing the roles life has assigned them, even if it means living a lie. The song captures the bittersweet nature of their relationship, where they find solace in each other's arms, yet cannot fully escape the constraints of their current lives. This emotional complexity is a hallmark of Gilberto Santa Rosa's music, blending heartfelt lyrics with rich, melodic arrangements to create a poignant and relatable narrative.
