Es Cuestión de Tiempo

Guillermo Dávila's song 'Es Cuestión de Tiempo' delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the steadfast hope that time will eventually bring two hearts together. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who is deeply in love, despite being advised by others to move on. They tell him that his love interest is not worth his time and that she only responds to his calls out of pity. This external pressure to forget her and find someone else is met with resistance, as he believes that his love is genuine and worth waiting for.

The song's chorus, 'Si es cuestión de tiempo, yo no puedo estar sin ti,' translates to 'If it's a matter of time, I can't be without you.' This line encapsulates the essence of the song, highlighting the protagonist's unwavering commitment to his love. He acknowledges that sometimes love is complicated and painful, but he is willing to endure the wait, believing that time will eventually bring them together. This sentiment is further emphasized by his refusal to heed the advice of others, as he feels that they cannot understand the depth of his feelings.

Metaphorically, the song uses the imagery of a 'muñeco de cartón' (a cardboard doll) to describe how others perceive him—fragile and insignificant in the eyes of his love interest. However, he rejects this notion, choosing instead to hold on to his hope and love. The cultural context of the song reflects a common theme in Latin music, where love is often portrayed as a powerful, enduring force that defies logic and societal expectations. Guillermo Dávila's heartfelt delivery and the poignant lyrics make 'Es Cuestión de Tiempo' a touching ode to the resilience of true love.
