Incoherencia de Amor

La Mona Jiménez, a renowned figure in the Argentine cuarteto music scene, delivers a poignant exploration of unrequited love in his song 'Incoherencia de Amor.' The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the emotional turmoil experienced when love is not reciprocated. The repeated plea, 'Oh mi Amor, tirame una cuerda que agonizo sin vos,' translates to 'Oh my Love, throw me a rope because I am agonizing without you,' emphasizing the singer's desperation and longing for the beloved's affection.

The song employs various metaphors to illustrate the sense of incompleteness and isolation felt by the protagonist. For instance, the comparison of the cordón (shoelace) and the zapatilla (sneaker) highlights how everything in life has a counterpart, yet the singer feels alone without the love he desires. This theme is further reinforced with the imagery of the sky and the passing cloud, and the cloud and the airplane, suggesting that while everything in the world has a companion, the singer remains solitary without his beloved's love.

Additionally, the song references other Argentine rock icons, Charly García and Fito Páez, to underscore the depth of the singer's emotional void. By mentioning Charly's 'rasguñemos las piedras' (let's scratch the stones) and Fito's 'fue ayer nomás' (it was just yesterday), the singer contrasts his own lack of shared memories and emotional scars with the beloved, highlighting the absence of a meaningful connection. This lack of shared experiences and the resulting emotional desolation form the crux of the song's narrative, making 'Incoherencia de Amor' a heartfelt lament of unfulfilled love.
