Por Qué Llamar a Esto Amor

Mal Momento's song "Por Qué Llamar a Esto Amor" delves into the painful realization that what was once thought to be love was nothing more than a facade. The lyrics begin with a seemingly innocent and mutual attraction, where the narrator and their partner exchange glances and kisses. However, the repeated question, "Por qué llamar a esto amor?" (Why call this love?), sets the tone for the song's exploration of disillusionment and betrayal.

The narrator's plea for genuine affection, "Te pedí que me quisieras, no pensando en que te fueras" (I asked you to love me, not thinking you would leave), highlights their vulnerability and the depth of their emotional investment. The subsequent heartbreak is palpable as the narrator's heart cries and their illusions are shattered. The repetition of "haaaa...lloró mi corazón" (my heart cried) and "haaaa..se perdió tanta ilusión" (so much illusion was lost) underscores the profound sense of loss and betrayal.

The song's narrative reveals that the partner's promises of love were empty, as symbolized by the deceitful kisses and false assurances. The line "me mentiste sin temor" (you lied to me without fear) captures the partner's blatant disregard for the narrator's feelings. This betrayal leads the narrator to question the very nature of their relationship, ultimately concluding that it was not love at all. Mal Momento's poignant lyrics and emotive delivery resonate with anyone who has experienced the pain of unrequited or deceptive love, making "Por Qué Llamar a Esto Amor" a powerful anthem of heartbreak and disillusionment.
