Cien Años

Los Tiranos del Norte's song 'Cien Años' delves deep into the theme of unrequited love and the enduring pain that accompanies it. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is deeply in love with someone who remains completely indifferent to their existence. The opening lines describe a moment of painful indifference, where the object of affection passes by without even a glance, highlighting the emotional distance between them.

The song's narrator experiences a profound sense of sorrow and bitterness, as they acknowledge that their feelings are not reciprocated. The lines 'Me duele hasta la vida saber que me olvidaste' (It hurts me to the core to know that you forgot me) and 'pensar que ni desprecio merezca yo de ti' (to think that I don't even deserve your disdain) encapsulate the depth of their despair. This unreciprocated love is not just a fleeting emotion but a persistent, haunting presence in their life.

Despite the pain, the narrator's love remains unwavering. The repeated refrain 'y si vivo cien años, cien años pienso en ti' (and if I live a hundred years, a hundred years I'll think of you) underscores the idea of eternal devotion. This line suggests that the narrator's love is so profound that it transcends time, remaining a constant part of their existence regardless of the lack of reciprocation. The song beautifully captures the agony and persistence of unrequited love, making it a poignant and relatable piece for anyone who has experienced similar emotions.
