Es Mejor

In 'Es Mejor,' Luis Miguel delves into the complexities of a fading romantic relationship. The song's lyrics reflect a mature and introspective approach to love, where the singer acknowledges that the passion and connection that once existed have dissipated. The phrase 'Es mejor' (It's better) is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the decision to end the relationship on amicable terms rather than letting it deteriorate further. This sentiment is encapsulated in the lines 'Es mejor dejarlo como está, es mejor guardar una amistad' (It's better to leave it as it is, it's better to keep a friendship), suggesting that preserving a friendship is more valuable than clinging to a love that no longer exists.

The song also touches on themes of infidelity and regret. The singer admits to having been unfaithful, saying 'Sé que te engañé con alguna, aunque yo te amé con locura' (I know I cheated on you with someone, even though I loved you madly). This confession adds a layer of complexity to the narrative, as it reveals the internal conflict and guilt experienced by the singer. Despite the betrayal, there is an acknowledgment that both parties have grown apart, symbolized by the metaphorical 'gran avismo' (great abyss) that now separates them.

Luis Miguel's delivery of the song is poignant and heartfelt, capturing the emotional weight of the situation. The lyrics also highlight the inevitability of change and the importance of recognizing when a relationship has run its course. The imagery of distance, such as 'yo soy el norte, tu eres el sur' (I am the north, you are the south), further underscores the idea that the two individuals are now on different paths. 'Es Mejor' serves as a reminder that sometimes the most loving thing one can do is to let go and cherish the good memories while moving forward separately.
