Discúlpeme Señora

The song 'Discúlpeme Señora' by Jose Alberto 'El Canario' is a passionate salsa track that delves into the complexities of unrequited love and the courage to express one's feelings. The lyrics begin with an apology, as the singer addresses a woman with respect, asking for forgiveness for any offense caused by his forthcoming confession. The song's narrative is built around the singer's inability to contain his emotions when love comes knocking, highlighting the intensity and urgency that love can provoke in one's heart.

As the song progresses, the singer reveals his deep feelings for the woman, despite her apparent disdain for him. He acknowledges that she may think of him often and that she enjoys his music and poetry. The singer's admission of love is a bold step, as he decides to confront the situation and express his true emotions, regardless of the outcome. The repeated phrase 'Ha llegado la hora' (The time has come) emphasizes the pivotal moment of revelation and the singer's readiness to face the consequences of his confession.

The song's climax is a mix of hope and despair, as the singer's love is met with hatred from the object of his affection. Yet, this animosity only seems to fuel his desire even more. The use of phrases like 'amor, amor, amor' and the call to 'stop the clock' signify a longing to freeze time and exist in a moment of honesty and vulnerability with the woman he loves. The song ends with a sense of finality, as if the singer has laid everything on the line, leaving the resolution open to interpretation.
