Navigating the Storm: Juana Molina's 'Hay Que Ver Si Voy'

Juana Molina's song 'Hay Que Ver Si Voy' delves into the tumultuous dynamics of a relationship marked by intense emotions and conflict. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person dealing with someone who is consumed by fury and frustration. This individual is described as 'lúcido y mordaz' (lucid and biting), indicating a sharp intellect but also a relentless, critical nature. The protagonist of the song is caught in the crossfire, trying to maintain their own peace while being dragged into the other's emotional turmoil.

The repeated phrase 'hay que ver si voy' (we'll see if I go) serves as a refrain that underscores the protagonist's hesitation and resistance. They are being pulled towards a metaphorical 'infierno' (hell) by the other person's anger and demands. Despite the other's insistence and persistence, the protagonist is firm in their stance, expressing a desire to avoid further confrontation and emotional drain. This struggle is further highlighted by the lines 'llora, patalea, me putea y me viene a buscar' (cries, kicks, curses at me, and comes looking for me), which depict the other's desperate attempts to engage and provoke a reaction.

In contrast, the protagonist yearns for a 'paraiso terrenal' (earthly paradise), a place of peace and tranquility. This desire for a better, more harmonious state is a stark contrast to the chaos they are currently experiencing. The song captures the tension between these two opposing forces—the pull of conflict and the longing for peace. Juana Molina's unique musical style, which blends folk, electronic, and experimental elements, adds depth to the emotional landscape of the song, making it a compelling exploration of human relationships and the struggle for personal peace.
