Anótalo (feat. Américo)

Maricarmen Marín's song "Anótalo (feat. Américo)" is a poignant narrative of love, betrayal, and the subsequent emotional fallout. The lyrics convey a story of a relationship marred by deceit and broken promises. The protagonist, addressing their former lover, makes it clear that the end of their relationship is due to the latter's actions. The repeated phrase "Anota que fuiste tú quien falló" ("Note that it was you who failed") serves as a powerful refrain, emphasizing the accountability of the partner who betrayed the trust and love given to them.

The song opens with a bittersweet greeting, "Buenos días amor, yo te quiero" ("Good morning love, I love you"), which quickly shifts to a demand for a kiss, symbolizing a longing for affection that is no longer genuine. The protagonist then dismisses the memories left behind by the unfaithful partner, indicating a desire to move on from the past. The lyrics, "Te los puede llevar, ya no los quiero" ("You can take them, I don't want them anymore"), highlight the emotional detachment and the need to rid oneself of painful reminders.

Throughout the song, Marín and Américo's voices blend to underscore the shared pain and disillusionment. The repetition of the accusations—lying, failing, and destroying the heart—serves to reinforce the gravity of the betrayal. The song's structure, with its cyclical chorus, mirrors the repetitive nature of the protagonist's thoughts as they process the betrayal. The final lines, "Yo si te quería, te quería, ya no sé qué hacer con tus mentiras" ("I did love you, I loved you, now I don't know what to do with your lies"), encapsulate the confusion and hurt that often accompany the end of a deeply felt relationship.

"Anótalo" is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of heartbreak. It speaks to the universal experience of love lost and the painful journey towards healing and self-empowerment.
