Confianza

The song 'Confianza' by Adolescent's Orquesta (Los Adolescentes) delves into the delicate and often painful nature of trust in romantic relationships. The lyrics poignantly express the emotional turmoil that comes with betrayal and the difficulty of rebuilding trust after being hurt. The repeated lines, 'Para confiar en ti, necesito cerrar mis heridas' (To trust you, I need to heal my wounds) and 'Para confiar en ti, necesito nacer de nuevo' (To trust you, I need to be born again), highlight the deep scars left by betrayal and the almost impossible task of starting anew with the same person who caused the pain.

The song also explores the consequences of giving one's heart to someone who does not reciprocate the same level of love and commitment. The lines 'Porque sufrir el dolor, porque llorar en silencio, las consecuencias de entregar el corazón a alguien que no te ama' (Why suffer the pain, why cry in silence, the consequences of giving your heart to someone who doesn't love you) reflect the silent suffering and emotional devastation that comes from unrequited love. This theme is further emphasized by the imagery of a heart that has 'died bleeding, beaten, and marked by so much sadness.'

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics shift to a more reflective tone, questioning the necessity of suffering and crying over someone who was never truly committed. The lines 'La confianza es cuestión de mucho tiempo, no hay mentiras, no hay traiciones, sufrimientos no hay engaños' (Trust is a matter of much time, there are no lies, no betrayals, no sufferings, no deceptions) suggest that true trust is built over time and is free from deceit and betrayal. This message underscores the importance of mutual respect and honesty in any relationship, and the long journey it takes to rebuild trust once it has been broken.
