Y...

Javier Solís' song 'Y...' is a poignant ballad that delves into the heartache and betrayal felt when a loved one breaks their promises of love. The lyrics are a series of questions directed at the beloved, asking what became of the love and kisses that were once shared, and what excuses could possibly justify the betrayal that extinguished the hope within the singer's heart. The song is a classic example of the Mexican ranchera genre, known for its emotive storytelling and often dealing with themes of love, pain, and betrayal.

The song's narrator grapples with the cruel fate that has wounded him and the absurdity of his undying passion. Despite the betrayal, his love remains foolishly alive, preferring to forgive the treachery rather than let go. This internal conflict highlights the depth of his feelings and the struggle to reconcile the love he still holds with the pain of being abandoned. The repetition of the phrase 'Y pensar que en mi vida fuiste flama' (And to think that in my life you were a flame) emphasizes the intensity of the past relationship and the stark contrast to the present sorrow caused by the beloved's change in attitude.

The song ends with a plea for an explanation for the abandonment and a promise of forgiveness if the truth is told. The narrator's willingness to forgive and remember the beloved alongside God suggests a deep capacity for love and compassion, even in the face of deep hurt. 'Y...' is a testament to the enduring human spirit that, despite suffering, chooses to remember love with kindness and forgiveness.
