Será

In 'Será,' José Luis Perales delves into the profound sorrow and confusion that accompanies unrequited love. The song's title, which translates to 'Maybe' or 'Could it be,' sets the tone for a series of introspective questions the narrator asks himself. He wonders if his sadness stems from the departure of a loved one who took a part of him with them. The repetition of 'Será' underscores his uncertainty and the myriad of reasons he contemplates for his heartache.

Perales poignantly captures the essence of giving oneself entirely to another person, only to realize that the love was not reciprocated. The lyrics 'Será, porque yo puse el alma en ti, y tu jamás te enamoraste de mi' ('Maybe because I put my soul into you, and you never fell in love with me') highlight the emotional investment and the subsequent emptiness felt when that love is not returned. This unreciprocated affection leaves the narrator in a state of sleeplessness and melancholy, as he grapples with the reality of his unfulfilled love.

The song also touches on the themes of loneliness and the passage of time. The long, cold nights symbolize the enduring pain and the struggle to move on from a love that was never truly his. Perales' emotive delivery and the melancholic melody further amplify the sense of loss and longing. 'Será' is a poignant exploration of the complexities of love, the pain of unreciprocated feelings, and the lingering impact of a broken heart.
