La Culpa (part. Goyo)

Nath's song 'La Culpa,' featuring Goyo, delves into the emotional journey of overcoming a toxic relationship and finding strength in solitude. The lyrics reflect a narrative of self-discovery and empowerment, as the protagonist chooses to leave behind a detrimental relationship. The repeated phrase 'Mejor estar sola, que con mala compañía' (Better to be alone than in bad company) encapsulates the central theme of the song, emphasizing the value of self-worth and the importance of surrounding oneself with positive influences.

The song begins with the protagonist admitting to having preferred to lose everything rather than face the reality of their situation. This admission highlights the initial denial and self-deception that often accompany toxic relationships. The lyrics 'Yo creía inocente que me pertenecías' (I innocently believed you belonged to me) reveal a sense of naivety and misplaced trust. However, as the song progresses, the protagonist gains clarity and strength, ultimately realizing that they are better off alone.

Goyo's verse adds depth to the narrative by addressing the superficiality and materialism that can plague relationships. Lines like 'Es que con dinero se compran cualquiera' (With money, you can buy anyone) and 'No me compren, yo no tengo precio' (Don't buy me, I have no price) underscore the importance of genuine connection over material wealth. The song's chorus, with its repeated assertion of being alive and free from blame, serves as a powerful affirmation of the protagonist's resilience and newfound independence.

'La Culpa' is a testament to the strength it takes to leave a harmful relationship and the empowerment that comes from choosing oneself. Nath and Goyo's collaboration brings a compelling mix of vulnerability and defiance, making the song a relatable anthem for anyone who has faced similar struggles. The cultural context of the song, with its Colombian roots, adds an additional layer of richness, reflecting the universal nature of its themes while grounding it in a specific cultural experience.
