A Heart's Plea: The Yearning in 'Y Si Me Dejas'
In 'Y Si Me Dejas,' Nico Hernández captures the essence of unspoken love and the longing for a deeper connection. The song revolves around the narrator's intense feelings for a friend, feelings that have grown over time and are now impossible to ignore.

The chorus of the song is a heartfelt plea, asking the object of affection to consider what could be if they allowed themselves to explore a romantic relationship. The repeated lines, 'Y si me dejas que yo te bese' and 'Y si me dejas quererte pa' siempre,' emphasize the narrator's desire for a lasting and meaningful connection. The mention of dancing under the full moon adds a layer of romantic imagery, symbolizing a perfect, almost magical moment that the narrator dreams of sharing.
Nico Hernández's use of simple yet evocative language makes the song relatable to anyone who has experienced the pangs of unspoken love. The song's emotional core lies in its exploration of vulnerability and the courage it takes to express one's deepest feelings. The repeated questioning of 'Y si' (What if) highlights the uncertainty and hope that coexist in the narrator's heart, making 'Y Si Me Dejas' a poignant anthem for anyone who has ever dared to dream of a love that feels just out of reach.
