Infieles

Kim Loaiza's song 'Infieles' delves into the complexities and emotional turmoil of a forbidden love affair. From the very beginning, the lyrics reveal that the protagonists were aware that their relationship should have remained platonic. The line 'Debimos solo ser amigos' (We should have just been friends) sets the stage for the unfolding drama. Despite knowing the risks, they allowed their emotions to take over, leading to a situation where they are now 'dos extraños en el juego del amor' (two strangers in the game of love).

The song captures the essence of regret and the consequences of their actions. The repeated phrase 'Ya es muy tarde' (It's too late) emphasizes the irreversible nature of their situation. They are now trapped in a 'prisión del amor' (prison of love), unable to find a way out. The lyrics 'Lo nuestro es un delito, paguemos condena' (Our love is a crime, let's pay the penalty) metaphorically describe their relationship as a crime for which they must face the consequences. This metaphor highlights the societal and moral boundaries they have crossed, adding a layer of guilt and responsibility to their predicament.

The song also touches on the theme of destiny and inevitability. Despite their awareness of the wrongness of their actions, they are compelled by an irresistible force, as expressed in 'Eso fue culpa del deseo o la forma de mirar' (It was the fault of desire or the way of looking). This line suggests that their attraction was beyond their control, making their situation even more tragic. The repeated question '¿Y ahora qué?' (And now what?) underscores their uncertainty and desperation, as they grapple with the consequences of their forbidden love.
