Siempre Fiel

Mocedades' song 'Siempre Fiel' delves into the theme of unwavering loyalty and the emotional toll it can take on an individual. The lyrics paint a poignant picture of someone who has dedicated their life to another person, following them through every phase and place, always remaining faithful. This devotion is not just a matter of love but also of fear—fear of stepping out of this role and facing the unknown. The repetition of 'Siempre fiel' (Always faithful) underscores the constancy and perhaps the monotony of this commitment.

The song's narrative suggests a life spent in the shadows, supporting and understanding the other person, while their own desires and dreams remain unfulfilled. The line 'Coleccionando soledad' (Collecting loneliness) is particularly striking, highlighting the emotional isolation that can come from such a one-sided relationship. The protagonist's life revolves around the other person, to the extent that their own identity seems to be lost in the process. The imagery of waking up each day to the same routine, 'Igual que ayer, un día más' (Just like yesterday, one more day), emphasizes the repetitive and unchanging nature of their existence.

The song concludes with a sense of finality and liberation, as the protagonist contemplates a departure, 'Un adiós, un tren' (A goodbye, a train), and the possibility of never returning. This ending suggests a breaking point, where the faithful companion finally considers reclaiming their own life and freedom. Mocedades, known for their emotive and harmonious style, effectively convey the deep emotional struggle and the bittersweet resolution in 'Siempre Fiel'. The song resonates with anyone who has ever felt trapped in a role of constant support, yearning for their own sense of self and freedom.
