Pensamos En Ser Felices

Kadec Santa Anna's song "Pensamos En Ser Felices" delves into the complexities of a failed relationship, capturing the raw emotions of love, loss, and regret. The repeated refrain, "Y pensamos en ser felices," which translates to "And we thought about being happy," sets the tone for the entire song. It reflects the initial hope and promise of happiness that the couple once shared, only to be shattered by infidelity and emotional distance. The line "Hay otro que te desviste" ("There's another who undresses you") underscores the betrayal and the pain of seeing a loved one with someone else.

The lyrics are rich with metaphors and vivid imagery. Kadec Santa Anna uses the metaphor of not being able to "bajar las estrellas" ("bring down the stars") to express his limitations and the impossibility of fulfilling grand promises. Instead, he brings himself "a la calle" ("to the street"), indicating a more grounded, albeit less glamorous, reality. The song also touches on the theme of irreparable damage, as seen in the lines "hay cosas que son irreparables cuando se rompen" ("there are things that are irreparable when they break"). This highlights the permanent scars left by the relationship's breakdown.

The emotional turmoil is palpable throughout the song. Kadec Santa Anna's struggle with pride and vulnerability is evident in lines like "No me quito la coraza de ser un chulo de mierda" ("I don't take off the armor of being a jerk") and "Claro que te quiero y que quiero tenerte cerca" ("Of course I love you and want you close"). These lines reveal a man torn between his love and his need to protect himself from further hurt. The song's melancholic tone is further emphasized by the recurring imagery of sadness and longing, such as "Hoy me he levantao triste" ("Today I woke up sad") and "Llevo el cuerpo tan repleto de tus putas cicatrices" ("My body is so full of your damn scars").

"Pensamos En Ser Felices" is a poignant exploration of the fragility of love and the enduring impact of emotional wounds. It captures the essence of a relationship that, despite its initial promise, ultimately failed to withstand the trials it faced.
