Sería Fácil

María Martha Serra Lima's song 'Sería Fácil' delves into the intricate and often painful nature of human emotions. The lyrics poignantly express the longing for an easier way to deal with life's challenges, such as heartbreak, betrayal, and the passage of time. The repeated phrase 'Sería fácil' (It would be easy) underscores the wishful thinking that if only crying, sleeping, or stopping time could solve our problems, life would be much simpler. However, the song quickly dispels this notion, acknowledging that such solutions are far from reality.

The song's verses highlight the inevitability of emotional pain and the human condition. Lines like 'Si no doliera el desamor y del amigo la traición' (If heartbreak and a friend's betrayal didn't hurt) and 'Si se pudiera detener el tiempo y nunca envejecer' (If we could stop time and never grow old) reflect universal experiences that everyone can relate to. These lines emphasize that pain and suffering are integral parts of life, and no amount of wishful thinking can change that.

In the chorus, the song takes a more philosophical turn, stating, 'No es nada fácil si se tienen sentimientos' (It's not easy if you have feelings). This line captures the essence of the song, suggesting that the depth of our emotions is what makes life both beautiful and challenging. The final lines, 'Porque la vida no es como un libro de cuentos' (Because life is not like a fairy tale) and 'Y el que no siente su dolor es solo por una razón, porque está muerto' (And the one who doesn't feel pain is only for one reason, because they are dead), drive home the message that to live is to feel, and to feel is to experience both joy and sorrow. The song beautifully encapsulates the complexity of human emotions, making it a timeless piece that resonates with listeners on a deep level.
