Por Cobardia

Kika Edgar's song "Por Cobardía" delves into the emotional turmoil and regret that comes from fleeing a relationship out of fear. The title itself, which translates to "Out of Cowardice," sets the stage for a narrative of missed opportunities and lingering sorrow. The protagonist admits to running away from a significant other, only to realize that despite outward appearances, true happiness has eluded them. This is poignantly captured in the line, "Aunque sonría no soy feliz" (Although I smile, I am not happy), highlighting the facade of contentment masking deep inner pain.

The lyrics further explore the agony of seeing a former lover with someone new. The protagonist's attempt to hide their emotional collapse is evident in the line, "Y como disimular que mi alma se derrumbó" (And how to disguise that my soul collapsed). This moment of vulnerability underscores the depth of their unresolved feelings. The song also touches on the mutual struggle of moving on, as both parties grapple with the memories and emotions tied to their past relationship. The protagonist's confession, "Yo jamás toqué otra piel con tanto tanto y tanto amor" (I never touched another skin with so much, so much love), reveals the irreplaceable nature of their lost love.

Ultimately, "Por Cobardía" is a poignant reflection on the consequences of letting fear dictate one's actions in matters of the heart. The protagonist's regret is palpable as they acknowledge their failure to embrace love fully, encapsulated in the closing line, "Por cobardía yo me olvidé de amar" (Out of cowardice, I forgot to love). Kika Edgar's emotive delivery and the song's heartfelt lyrics resonate with anyone who has experienced the pain of lost love and the haunting question of what might have been.
