Envidia

La Sociedad's song 'Envidia' delves into the complex emotions surrounding a passionate and unconventional love. The lyrics suggest that the intense feelings between the two lovers provoke envy in others. This envy stems from a lack of understanding and an inability to love as deeply. The repeated assertion that 'es envidia lo que siente la gente' (it's envy that people feel) highlights the central theme of the song: the lovers' relationship is so extraordinary that it incites jealousy among those who witness it.

The song also addresses societal judgments and misconceptions. The lyrics mention that people think the singer is 'medio loco por tu amor' (half-crazy for your love) and that the couple has 'perdido la vergüenza para amar' (lost the shame to love). These lines suggest that their love defies social norms and expectations, making it a target for criticism. However, the singer views these judgments as a 'bendición' (blessing), indicating that the couple cherishes their unique bond despite—or perhaps because of—the scrutiny they face.

Furthermore, the song touches on the idea of reputation and societal roles. The lyrics mention that the lover's reputation is not 'muy buena' (very good) and that the singer is criticized for not working because he is too focused on his love. These lines reflect the societal pressures and expectations that the couple defies. The repeated phrase 'que bendición' (what a blessing) serves as a powerful counterpoint, suggesting that the couple finds joy and fulfillment in their love, regardless of external opinions. This defiance and celebration of love in the face of envy and judgment make 'Envidia' a poignant and relatable anthem for anyone who has experienced similar emotions.
