Cobardes (feat. Carlos Rivera)
Kany García
The Courage to Confront Love's Demise
In 'Cobardes,' Kany García, featuring Carlos Rivera, delves into the complexities of a deteriorating relationship. The song opens with a scene of routine and detachment, where the couple interacts mechanically, devoid of genuine connection. The lyrics, 'me sirves el beso como en automático,' poignantly capture the mechanical nature of their interactions, highlighting the emotional distance that has grown between them. This initial setup sets the stage for a deeper exploration of their emotional state and the silent suffering they endure.
The chorus serves as a powerful plea for courage and honesty. García and Rivera question their ability to confront the reality of their failing relationship, asking, 'Dime qué hacemos los dos si nos sobra la vida para dejar de ser cobardes.' This line underscores the central theme of the song: the fear of facing the truth and the pain that comes with it. The transition from love to pain is marked by lingering wounds, suggesting that their relationship has been marred by unresolved issues and unspoken grievances.
As the song progresses, the repeated refrain of 'si en verdad se nos ha hecho tarde' emphasizes the urgency and the potential finality of their situation. The couple grapples with the possibility that it might be too late to salvage their love, reflecting a deep sense of regret and sorrow. The song's emotional depth is further amplified by the haunting melody and the heartfelt delivery of both artists, making 'Cobardes' a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the courage needed to confront painful truths.
