Con Lo Que Yo Te Quiero

Mocedades' song 'Con Lo Que Yo Te Quiero' delves into the emotional turmoil of a clandestine love affair. The lyrics poignantly express the agony of having to hide true feelings and the exhaustion that comes with constant pretense. The singer laments the necessity of stealing moments and suppressing emotions, highlighting the internal conflict between the desire to be open about their love and the fear of societal repercussions. This struggle is encapsulated in the lines, 'No sabes lo que es / Tener que andar así / Robándole los momentos / Cansándome de fingir,' which translate to 'You don't know what it's like / To have to go on like this / Stealing moments / Tiring of pretending.'

The chorus, 'Con lo que yo te quiero / Tendré que acostumbrarme / Con lo que yo te quiero amor / A no tenerte aquí,' which means 'With how much I love you / I'll have to get used to / With how much I love you, my love / Not having you here,' underscores the resignation and acceptance of a painful reality. The singer acknowledges the depth of their love but also the necessity to adapt to a life without their beloved. This acceptance is not without sorrow, as it signifies a forced compromise and a life lived in the shadows of true happiness.

The song also touches on the broader theme of societal expectations and the 'maldita comodidad' or 'damned comfort' of living a lie. The lyrics, 'Ni él, ni tú, ni yo / Sabremos renunciar / Al juego de la mentira / Maldita comodidad,' reflect the entrapment in a web of deceit, where neither the singer, their lover, nor the third party can break free from the comfort of lies. This highlights the tragic irony of choosing a life of falsehood over the liberating, albeit challenging, path of truth. Mocedades, known for their emotive and harmonious style, effectively convey the heartache and complexity of forbidden love through this poignant ballad.
