Dicen Por Ahí

Malú's song 'Dicen Por Ahí' is a powerful anthem of resilience and defiance against societal judgment and gossip. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is constantly under scrutiny and criticism, yet remains steadfast and unyielding. The phrase 'Dicen por ahí' (They say around) sets the tone for the song, highlighting the pervasive nature of rumors and the impact they have on the individual's life. Despite the negativity, the protagonist refuses to be broken, showcasing a strong sense of self and determination.

The song delves into the emotional turmoil caused by constant judgment, with lines like 'Dicen por ahí que ando triste cuando sale el sol' (They say around that I'm sad when the sun rises) and 'Que algo me hace perder el control' (That something makes me lose control). These lines reflect the internal struggle and the pressure to conform to societal expectations. However, the protagonist challenges these assumptions, asserting that those who judge should first understand her life and experiences. This defiance is further emphasized in the chorus, where she declares her resilience and ability to withstand any attacks without anesthesia.

Malú also touches on her humble beginnings and the happiness she found in her childhood, despite the hardships. The imagery of 'En una vieja donde el agua de noche nos inundaba los pies' (In an old house where the water flooded our feet at night) contrasts with the joy of 'Pero la luz por la mañana nos llegaba a la cabeza' (But the light in the morning reached our heads). This juxtaposition highlights the strength and positivity that can be found even in difficult circumstances. The song ultimately serves as a testament to the power of inner strength and the importance of staying true to oneself in the face of adversity.
