Y Deshacer

Marilina Bertoldi's song 'Y Deshacer' delves into the complexities of emotional barriers and the struggle for genuine connection. The lyrics begin with the decision to confront someone and ask for forgiveness, highlighting the vulnerability and courage required to face emotional truths. The act of 'ceding' or giving in more than what is received back suggests an imbalance in the relationship, where one person is giving more emotionally than the other.

The recurring line 'Ver que estás siendo cruel' (Seeing that you are being cruel) underscores the realization of the other person's harshness or emotional unavailability. The metaphor of 'entrar, ver tus muros y deshacer' (enter, see your walls and undo) speaks to the effort of breaking down these emotional defenses. This imagery of walls represents the barriers people build to protect themselves, which can also isolate them from meaningful connections.

The frustration of repetitive and insincere explanations is evident in the lines 'Repetís hasta aburrirme, simulando una explicación' (You repeat until you bore me, simulating an explanation). This suggests a lack of genuine communication and understanding. The plea '¿Por qué no te callás y me escuchás respirar?' (Why don't you shut up and listen to me breathe?) is a powerful call for silence and presence, emphasizing the need for the other person to truly listen and be present in the moment. Bertoldi's raw and emotive delivery, combined with the poignant lyrics, creates a compelling narrative about the challenges of breaking through emotional walls to achieve authentic connection.
