Matemáticas

Gloria Trevi's song 'Matemáticas' is a playful and passionate exploration of love through the lens of mathematical concepts. The lyrics cleverly intertwine mathematical terminology with the emotional and physical aspects of a romantic relationship. Trevi starts by reflecting on her past, where she was labeled as a 'reprobada' (a failure) in the eyes of others, but she knew her worth and potential. This sets the stage for the transformative power of love, which she describes as a 180-degree turn that brought clarity and understanding to her life, much like solving a complex equation.

The chorus of the song uses basic arithmetic to illustrate the intensity and growth of her love. Phrases like 'multiplicando besos' (multiplying kisses) and 'llegamos cada noche a la octava potencia' (we reach the eighth power every night) emphasize the exponential nature of their affection and intimacy. The use of numbers and mathematical operations serves as a metaphor for the boundless and ever-expanding nature of their relationship. Trevi's playful use of math terms like 'exponencial' and 'quebrados' (fractions) adds a layer of intellectual charm to the song, making it both fun and thought-provoking.

In the latter part of the song, Trevi highlights the uniqueness and strength of their bond, stating that they are a 'problema para los que no entiendan' (a problem for those who don't understand). This line underscores the idea that their love is so profound and unique that it defies conventional understanding. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of their perfect compatibility, as they find the 'exacto el resultado' (exact result) in each other's arms. 'Matemáticas' is a celebration of love's complexity and beauty, wrapped in the whimsical and relatable language of mathematics.
