Quien Me Enseñó a Amar

Marina Reche's song 'Quien Me Enseñó a Amar' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of a broken relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of abandonment and the lingering pain of lost love. The recurring question, 'Quien me enseñó a amar' (Who taught me to love), underscores the protagonist's struggle to reconcile the joy of past love with the agony of its loss. This refrain serves as a poignant reminder of the person who once brought happiness and now leaves a void.

The song begins with the protagonist reflecting on the last time they expressed love, highlighting the abrupt departure of their partner. The imagery of leaving 'por la puerta de atrás' (through the back door) and 'de puntillas sin hacer ruido' (on tiptoe without making noise) suggests a silent, almost cowardly exit, amplifying the sense of betrayal and abandonment. The protagonist's plea, 'Yo de rodillas suplicando' (I on my knees begging), further emphasizes their desperation and heartbreak.

As the song progresses, the protagonist reminisces about the happier times, contrasting them with the present sorrow. The line 'Los días grises para ti eran felices' (Gray days were happy for you) indicates that even in difficult times, their partner found joy, which now adds a layer of bittersweet nostalgia. The repetition of 'Quien me enseñó a amar' throughout the song not only highlights the depth of the protagonist's love but also their profound sense of loss and confusion. Marina Reche's emotive delivery and the melancholic melody enhance the song's emotional impact, making it a powerful exploration of love, loss, and the enduring pain of a broken heart.
