Juré

Jhon Alex Castaño's song 'Juré' delves into the emotional turmoil of someone who has experienced betrayal and disappointment in love. The lyrics express the protagonist's internal conflict between letting go and holding on, a dilemma that often arises after a painful breakup. The song's narrator admits to consistently making choices against better judgment, such as engaging with 'bad women,' leading a 'bad life,' and earning a 'bad reputation.' These choices have resulted in heartache and a penchant for drinking to cope with the pain.

The chorus of 'Juré' reveals a broken promise. The narrator had sworn to change the person they were with, who is implied to be unfaithful or 'bandida,' a term that can be translated as 'bandit' or 'rogue.' Despite the efforts, the narrator acknowledges that some people cannot change their ways. This realization leads to a resignation to return to old habits, such as womanizing, and a cynical view of love, deciding to shut it out completely.

The song also touches on the aftermath of the failed relationship, where the narrator seeks to erase memories and numb the pain with alcohol and parties. The act of deleting photos from the cellphone and the desire for a wild party to 'erase the tape' symbolize the attempt to move on and forget the past. The mention of a 'bañito de ruda' (a bath with rue plant) suggests using traditional rituals to cleanse oneself of bad luck, further emphasizing the desire to break free from the negative influence of the past relationship.
