Cien Años (feat. Pepe Aguilar)

Natalia Lafourcade's rendition of 'Cien Años,' featuring Pepe Aguilar, is a poignant exploration of unrequited love and the enduring pain it brings. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is deeply in love with someone who remains indifferent to their existence. The opening lines describe a moment of passing by, where the beloved doesn't even glance in the direction of the singer, highlighting the profound sense of invisibility and rejection felt by the narrator.

The song delves deeper into the emotional turmoil experienced by the narrator. They speak of seeing and speaking to their beloved without being seen or heard, encapsulating the one-sided nature of their affection. This unreciprocated love leads to a deep-seated bitterness and sorrow that the narrator struggles to contain. The pain is so intense that it feels like it affects their very life, knowing that they have been forgotten by the one they love.

Despite the heartache, the narrator confesses that their beloved remains an integral part of their existence. The repeated line, 'Y si vivo cien años, cien años pienso en ti,' underscores the idea that even if they were to live for a hundred years, their thoughts would always be consumed by this unrequited love. This line encapsulates the theme of eternal longing and the inescapable nature of their feelings, making 'Cien Años' a timeless ballad of love and loss that resonates deeply with anyone who has experienced the pain of loving someone who does not love them back.
