Lágrimas

Koko's song "Lágrimas" delves into the emotional turmoil of a love triangle, where the protagonist is deeply in love with someone who is already committed to another person. The lyrics express a profound longing and sorrow, as the protagonist wishes they could give their whole heart to their beloved, but they are painfully aware that their beloved is with someone else who doesn't value them. This unrequited love is a source of immense pain, symbolized by the recurring imagery of tears.

The song's chorus emphasizes the intensity of these emotions, describing how the tears that fall from the beloved's face are actually the protagonist's tears, reflecting their shared sorrow and the powerful connection between them. The metaphor of a hurricane is used to illustrate the overwhelming nature of their emotions, suggesting that their love is a force of nature that cannot be easily escaped or ignored. Despite the evident love between them, the beloved is afraid to leave their current partner, fearing the uncertainty and potential loss that might come with being with the protagonist.

Koko's poignant lyrics capture the essence of forbidden love and the heartache that comes with it. The song speaks to the universal experience of loving someone who is unavailable, and the internal conflict of wanting to be with them while knowing it may never be possible. The repeated plea to acknowledge the tears as "lágrimas de amor" (tears of love) underscores the purity and depth of the protagonist's feelings, even in the face of such emotional adversity.
