La Que Sea

Miguel Aceves Mejía's 'La Que Sea' is a poignant song that delves into themes of heartbreak, solitude, and a resigned acceptance of life's romantic encounters. The lyrics paint a picture of a man who wanders the world aimlessly, devoid of pain or love, likening himself to a ghost of his past and a soul forgotten by God. This imagery suggests a deep sense of loss and detachment from the world, possibly as a result of a profound romantic disappointment.

The narrator recounts a past love that was once his entire world, his madness, and his worship. However, the torment that followed when this love cruelly left him was even greater. In response to this heartbreak, the narrator adopts a philosophy of indifference towards future romantic relationships. He welcomes any new love with open arms, but is equally unbothered if they choose to leave, indicating that he has built a protective barrier around his heart to avoid further pain. The repetition of 'Hoy la que venga, muy bienvenida' (Today whoever comes is very welcome) and 'Que hoy la que sea, pa' mí, es igual' (Today whoever it is, for me, it's the same) emphasizes his nonchalant attitude towards love and relationships.

Despite his indifference, the narrator does not harbor ill will towards his past lover. He claims he would forgive her if she returned, suggesting that he still holds a sense of compassion and understanding. This forgiveness, however, is not rooted in a desire to rekindle the relationship but rather in his acceptance that she, like others, would be just another fleeting presence in his life. The song reflects a coping mechanism where the narrator chooses to embrace solitude and indifference as a way to shield himself from the pain of love lost.
