La De La Mala Suerte (feat. Jesse & Joy)

Pablo Alborán's song 'La De La Mala Suerte,' featuring Jesse & Joy, delves deep into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the pain of betrayal. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship where one partner is deeply invested, while the other is insincere and unfaithful. The opening lines describe the initial hope and excitement that comes with new love, only to be shattered by the realization that the affection is not mutual. The metaphor of tasting the forbidden apple for love suggests a willingness to take risks and face consequences for the sake of love, only to be met with disappointment.

The chorus reveals the protagonist's desire to move on and forget the pain caused by their partner's dishonesty. They yearn to be strong and resilient, like their unfaithful partner, and seek answers to why they always seem to be the one with bad luck in love. This sentiment is further emphasized by the repeated plea for sincerity, highlighting the importance of honesty in a relationship. The protagonist's struggle to let go and the internal conflict between love and self-respect are palpable throughout the song.

The song also touches on the theme of self-worth and the realization that one deserves better than being someone's second choice. The lines 'Vienes, me acaricias y te marchas con el Sol' and 'Pero alguien más está en tu habitación' illustrate the fleeting and superficial nature of the partner's affection. The protagonist's acknowledgment that they are not the true owner of their partner's heart and their decision to no longer share what was never truly given to them signifies a turning point. The song concludes with a powerful declaration of self-respect and the hope for genuine love in the future, free from deceit and heartache.
