Secreto

Julio Sosa's song 'Secreto' delves into the dark and tumultuous emotions of a man ensnared in a forbidden love affair. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who is deeply conflicted, torn between his duties and the overpowering allure of a woman who has become his obsession. The opening lines, 'Quien sos?... Que no puedo salvarme, Muñeca maldita, castigo de dios,' set the tone for the song, portraying the woman as a cursed doll and a divine punishment, suggesting that his attraction to her is both irresistible and destructive.

The man reflects on how his once sacred and simple life has been transformed into a 'barbaro horror de problemas,' indicating that his affair has brought chaos and dishonor. He acknowledges the impact of his actions on his family, lamenting that he has destroyed his wife's life and squandered his children's sustenance on his lover's luxuries. This internal conflict is further emphasized by his admission that he cannot be either more vile or better, as he is 'vencido por tu hechizo,' defeated by her spell.

In a moment of despair, the man contemplates ending his life to escape the torment of his obsession. However, he ultimately decides against it, not out of love for the woman, but for the sake of his children. The line 'Pensando en mis hijos... No lo hago por vos' reveals that his paternal instincts prevail over his self-destructive urges. This poignant conclusion underscores the depth of his internal struggle and the devastating consequences of his forbidden love.
