Pero Que Tiene él

La Mona Jiménez's song 'Pero Que Tiene él' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and jealousy. The lyrics express the narrator's bewilderment and pain as he questions what the other man possesses that he does not. This repeated questioning, 'Pero que tiene él, que yo no tenga,' highlights the narrator's feelings of inadequacy and confusion. He cannot comprehend why the woman he loves is so enamored with someone else, to the point where she seems to surrender herself completely at the mere gesture of the other man.

The song paints a vivid picture of the narrator's jealousy and longing. He envies the public displays of affection between the woman and her new partner, wishing he could walk hand in hand with her and kiss her openly. This desire for public acknowledgment and affection underscores his deep yearning for her love and the validation it would bring. The narrator's frustration is palpable as he wishes for the other man to disappear from her mind, so he can stop feeling the intense jealousy and rage that consumes him.

In the latter part of the song, the narrator's tone shifts to a mix of bitterness and hope. He describes the other man as someone who feels superior for having her, yet he believes that this sense of superiority is fleeting. The narrator warns the woman that life is cyclical, and when she eventually finds herself alone, she will return to him. This ending suggests a belief in karma and the hope that true love will prevail in the end, despite the current heartache and jealousy.
