Alejate

Kalimba's song "Alejate" delves into the emotional turmoil of a relationship teetering on the edge of collapse. The lyrics capture the essence of uncertainty and the pain that comes with not knowing whether a partner will stay or leave. The protagonist is caught in a state of limbo, unable to move forward because their partner has not made a definitive decision. This indecision is causing sleepless nights and a sense of being lost, as highlighted in the opening lines, "Despiertas hoy pero sin haber dormido y yo no estoy paso la noche perdido." The repeated plea for the partner to either stay or leave underscores the desperation for clarity and resolution.

The song also touches on the theme of wasted love. The protagonist questions whether all the love they have given will be forgotten or wasted if the partner decides to leave. This is poignantly expressed in the lines, "quiero saber si piensas desperdiciar todo ese amor que yo te di." The fear of love being unreciprocated or unappreciated adds another layer of emotional complexity to the song. The protagonist is not just seeking a decision but also validation of their feelings and efforts in the relationship.

Kalimba's soulful delivery and the heartfelt lyrics make "Alejate" a powerful exploration of the emotional struggles that come with love and indecision. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of an uncertain relationship, making it a poignant and relatable piece. The repeated calls for the partner to "decidete" (decide) or "alejate" (go away) encapsulate the need for emotional closure, a theme that is universally understood and felt.
