Cansado de Ti

Oscar Athie's song 'Cansado de Ti' delves into the emotional turmoil of a one-sided relationship. The lyrics express the singer's frustration and exhaustion from giving so much love and receiving so little in return. The opening lines set the tone, highlighting the imbalance in the relationship where the partner demands a lot but contributes nothing. This lack of reciprocity has led to the singer's profound loneliness and a sense of being taken for granted.

The chorus emphasizes the finality of the decision to leave. The repeated phrase 'es muy tarde para discutir' (it's too late to argue) signifies that the time for reconciliation or correction has passed. The singer is resolute in moving on, leaving the past behind. The metaphor of the 'gorrión' (sparrow) symbolizes the fragile and precious nature of the love that was once held but ultimately let go. This imagery poignantly captures the sense of loss and the irreversible decision to part ways.

Throughout the song, there's a clear narrative of having done everything possible to make the relationship work. The singer's efforts and pure intentions are acknowledged, but the sudden change and the partner's failure to cherish the love given have led to an inevitable end. The repetition of the lines about leaving and not returning underscores the finality and the emotional exhaustion that comes with unreciprocated love. 'Cansado de Ti' is a heartfelt expression of the pain and resolution that comes with realizing that sometimes, love is not enough to sustain a relationship.
