The Heartache of Love Lost in 'Como has hecho'
The song 'Como has hecho' by Los Tekis delves into the emotional turmoil of loving and losing someone. The lyrics express a sense of regret and bewilderment at how the relationship has changed. The opening lines, 'Debí saber que al amarte yo te perdía / Debí saber que tu mundo, ya no era el mío,' translate to 'I should have known that by loving you, I was losing you / I should have known that your world was no longer mine,' indicating a realization that the love they shared has led to an inevitable separation. The singer acknowledges that their worlds have diverged, and the intimacy they once shared is now a distant memory.
The chorus, 'Cómo has hecho, para amarme así / Como has hecho que te quiera así,' which means 'How have you done, to love me like this / How have you done that I love you like this,' reflects the singer's astonishment at the depth of their feelings. Despite the pain, there is a sense of admiration for the intensity of the love they experienced. The repetition of 'Cómo has hecho' emphasizes the confusion and the desire to understand what has transpired in their relationship. The phrase 'me mataste amor' translates to 'you killed me, love,' suggesting that the end of the relationship has been emotionally devastating.
