Bendita Maldicion

Modestia Aparte's song 'Bendita Maldición' delves into the complex and often contradictory nature of love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship filled with paradoxes, where the beloved is both a blessing and a curse. The opening lines, 'Vienes diciendo adios, llegas cuando te vas,' set the tone for this duality, suggesting a partner who is inconsistent and unpredictable. This inconsistency is further emphasized with phrases like 'pura contradiccion lo bueno y malo q hay en ti,' highlighting the simultaneous presence of good and bad qualities in the person they love.

The chorus, 'y yo te quiero asi, sin mas..el defecto mas perfecto tu,' reveals the acceptance of these contradictions. The singer loves their partner unconditionally, embracing their flaws as part of their perfection. This acceptance is a testament to the depth of their love, even though it causes them pain, as expressed in 'si te quiero tanto que se me parte el corazon, con tu bendita maldición.' The imagery of 'cielo y mar, flores y coral' juxtaposed with 'cara o cruz, o tiniebla y luz' further illustrates the contrasting elements that define their relationship.

The song also touches on the uncertainty of the future, with lines like 'quien sabe que hará el sol, quien sabe que he de hacer.' This uncertainty adds another layer to the emotional complexity, as the singer grapples with the unpredictability of their partner and the relationship. Despite this, the love remains strong, even if it is a 'bendita maldición'—a blessed curse. The song beautifully captures the essence of loving someone wholly, with all their imperfections and the emotional turmoil that comes with it.
