La Primera Vez

Hildemaro's 'La Primera Vez' tells a poignant story of love, betrayal, and the pain of waiting for someone who may never return. The song begins with a woman who has fallen asleep waiting for her lover until the early hours of the morning. The empty chair in front of her symbolizes the absence of her partner and possibly the loneliness she feels. This could very well be the first time she has experienced such a profound sense of abandonment, as suggested by the title 'La Primera Vez' which translates to 'The First Time'.

As the night fades away, the woman wakes up to a new silence, a metaphor for the change in her relationship and the dawning realization of her partner's infidelity. The lyrics are filled with questions about who might have stolen her lover's heart, who might have spent the night with him, and who might be taking care of him now. These questions reflect her confusion, hurt, and the search for understanding what has happened to the love they once shared.

The narrative progresses to the morning when she hears her lover returning. She braces herself with pride to avoid showing her vulnerability. The man's actions upon his return—looking into her eyes, touching her hands—seem to be an attempt to rekindle their connection. However, the repeated questions suggest a lingering doubt and mistrust. The song captures the complex emotions of a person who has been betrayed yet still longs for the affection of their unfaithful partner.
