POR QUE SERA? (feat. Maluma)

In 'POR QUE SERA?' by Grupo Frontera featuring Maluma, the artists delve into the painful experience of unrequited love. The song opens with a longing to turn back time to avoid the heartache that comes with falling for someone who doesn't reciprocate those feelings. This sentiment is encapsulated in the lines, 'Quisiera volver al día en que nos conocimos / Pa' no ir,' which translates to 'I wish I could go back to the day we met / So I wouldn't go.' The desire to shut off emotions to avoid suffering further highlights the depth of the pain experienced by the narrator.

The recurring question, '¿Por qué será que cuando quiero querer conmigo quieren jugar?' or 'Why is it that when I want to love, they want to play with me?' underscores the frustration and confusion of the narrator. This line reflects a common theme in love songs: the struggle to find genuine affection in a world where intentions are often misleading. The repeated failures in love, described as 'Otro amor que se me rompe en pedazos' or 'Another love that breaks into pieces,' emphasize the cyclical nature of the narrator's heartbreak.

Maluma's verse adds another layer to the narrative, expressing a wish for the roles to be reversed so that the other person could feel the same pain. The lines, 'Yo quisiera no querer y que tú me quisieras / Pa' que sientas lo que siento y así mismo te doliera,' translate to 'I wish I didn't want you and that you wanted me / So you could feel what I feel and it would hurt you the same.' This verse highlights the universal desire for empathy in relationships, where one wishes the other could understand their suffering. The song's emotional depth is further amplified by the collaboration between Grupo Frontera and Maluma, blending their distinct musical styles to create a poignant exploration of love and loss.
