Si Me Hubieran Dicho

Imán's song 'Si Me Hubieran Dicho' delves deep into the anguish and disillusionment that comes with unrequited love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship where the protagonist feels deceived by the outward beauty of their partner, only to discover a cold and unfeeling heart beneath. The repeated refrain 'Si me hubieran dicho' (If they had told me) underscores a sense of regret and betrayal, as the protagonist reflects on the warnings they wish they had received about their partner's true nature.

The song uses powerful metaphors to convey the emotional turmoil experienced by the protagonist. Descriptions like 'tenias el alma negra' (you had a black soul) and 'tu corazon era de piedra' (your heart was of stone) highlight the emotional coldness and cruelty of the partner. The imagery of 'hielo entre las venas' (ice in the veins) and 'eras el infierno' (you were hell) further emphasizes the partner's lack of warmth and compassion. These metaphors serve to illustrate the stark contrast between the partner's external beauty and their internal emptiness.

The emotional impact of the betrayal is palpable in the lines 'me golpiaste el alma sin piedad' (you struck my soul without mercy) and 'duele tanto un golpe desde el cielo al suelo' (it hurts so much, a fall from heaven to the ground). The protagonist's pain is so profound that it leads them to seek refuge in solitude, as they struggle to heal from the emotional wounds inflicted by their partner. The repeated desire to 'olvidar' (forget) underscores the difficulty of moving on from such a deeply hurtful experience, highlighting the enduring scars left by unrequited love.
