La Carta

Kenia OS's song "La Carta" is a powerful anthem of self-empowerment and resilience. The lyrics tell the story of a woman who has been wronged in a relationship but emerges stronger and more self-assured. The phrase "Jugaste mala carta" (You played a bad card) sets the tone, indicating that the other person made a poor choice, leading to the end of the relationship. The singer acknowledges that the other person lacks the courage to admit their mistakes and that she is no longer affected by their absence. This sentiment is reinforced with the lines, "Tú no tienes valor para reconocer que te hago falta" (You don't have the courage to admit that you miss me).

The song delves into the emotional journey of the protagonist, who initially gave her heart but was met with disappointment. She declares that the fault was not hers and that she has grown stronger from the experience. The repeated lines, "Me hice fuerte, volví a levantarme y seguí, aprendí" (I became strong, I got back up and continued, I learned), emphasize her resilience and personal growth. She has become friends with time, realizing that the person she once loved was not meant for her. This realization is a turning point, allowing her to move forward with newfound strength and independence.

Kenia OS also touches on themes of self-sufficiency and gratitude. She expresses that she no longer feels fear and is thankful for what she has. The lines, "Solo conmigo soy suficiente" (I am enough on my own) and "Le doy gracias a Dios que ya no me quiere" (I thank God that he no longer loves me), highlight her journey towards self-acceptance and appreciation for life's simple pleasures. The song concludes with a triumphant declaration of her newfound strength, repeating, "Estoy más dura, dura, dura que antes" (I am tougher, tougher, tougher than before), solidifying her transformation and resilience.
