Ya Te Perdí

Ivan Cornejo's song 'Ya Te Perdí' is a poignant ballad that delves into the feelings of heartbreak and loss after a relationship has ended. The lyrics express the narrator's pain and the transformation they have undergone since their partner left them. The song begins with a reflection on how life has changed, highlighting the emotional turmoil and the difficulty in accepting the new reality without their loved one.

The chorus of 'Ya Te Perdí' is a raw outpouring of emotion, where the narrator apologizes for reaching out late and wishes to turn back time to when they were happy. The repetition of 'ya te perdí,' which translates to 'I already lost you,' underscores the finality of the situation and the realization that the love they thought was strong and enduring was actually fragile, likened to 'paper.' The pain is further emphasized by the acknowledgment that the ex-partner has moved on to love someone else.

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics become more intense as the narrator grapples with the idea that they envisioned a future with their ex-partner, who apparently did not share the same vision. The metaphor of 'arrancas mis greñas,' which means 'you pull out my hair,' signifies the mental anguish and obsession over past memories that continue to torment the narrator. The song concludes with a lamentation of the emotional void left by the ex-partner, symbolizing a piece of the narrator's identity that was taken with the end of the relationship.
