Tiene Que Ser Para Mí

Natalia Lacunza's song 'Tiene Que Ser Para Mí' is a powerful anthem of self-worth and personal boundaries. The lyrics convey a message of reclaiming what one has given and ensuring that it is valued and respected. The repeated phrase 'Tiene que ser para mí' (It has to be for me) underscores the importance of self-ownership and the recognition that what one offers should be cherished and not taken for granted.

The song delves into the transformation of pain into something valuable, as seen in the lines 'Lo que ya me dolió, de oro se volvió' (What already hurt me, turned into gold). This metaphor suggests that past hardships have contributed to personal growth and strength. The imagery of a flower emerging from the neighborhood and changing color symbolizes resilience and the beauty that can arise from difficult circumstances.

Lacunza also emphasizes the importance of not overextending oneself and maintaining a balance in giving. The lines 'No voy a dar todo lo que me queda, no voy a dar nada más de la cuenta' (I won't give everything I have left, I won't give more than necessary) highlight the need for self-preservation and the recognition that one's essence remains even after giving. The repeated plea to 'guárdalo y no me mientas' (keep it and don't lie to me) reflects a desire for honesty and respect in relationships.

The song's bridge brings a sense of renewal and hope, with the end of winter and the warmth that follows. This transition signifies a new beginning and the courage to let go of fear. The uplifting tone encourages listeners to embrace their worth and ensure that what they give is appreciated and safeguarded.
