Por Ti

La Apuesta's song 'Por Ti' delves deep into the emotional turmoil and lingering pain of lost love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is haunted by the departure of a loved one. The opening lines, 'Hace tanto tiempo que te vi marchar / Me quede tan solo con mi soledad,' set the tone for the song, highlighting the profound loneliness and emptiness that the protagonist feels after their partner left. This sense of abandonment is a recurring theme throughout the song, emphasizing the lasting impact of the separation.

The song also explores the unbalanced nature of love and affection. The lines 'En la vida siempre suele suceder / Que a los que queremos no nos quieren bien' reflect a common human experience where the love we give is not always reciprocated. This unrequited love leaves the protagonist in a state of perpetual longing and despair, as they continue to dream of reuniting with their lost love, despite the painful reality that their feelings may not be returned. The repetition of 'Por ti' underscores the depth of their obsession and the extent to which their life has been affected by this unfulfilled love.

Furthermore, 'Por Ti' captures the physical and emotional toll of this unreciprocated love. The imagery of a life 'sin luz ni calor' and hands 'vacías de amor' conveys a sense of lifelessness and desolation. The protagonist's eyes, filled with 'tanto dolor,' symbolize the enduring sorrow and heartache that they carry. The song poignantly concludes with the realization that the person they long for may not even remember them, adding another layer of sadness to their plight. La Apuesta's heartfelt delivery and poignant lyrics make 'Por Ti' a powerful exploration of the enduring pain of lost love.
