Descortés

In 'Descortés,' Pappo delves into themes of love, regret, and the complexities of human relationships. The song opens with an apology, 'Perdóname si alguna vez fui descortés,' which translates to 'Forgive me if I was ever rude.' This sets the tone for a reflective and remorseful narrative. The imagery of 'a drifting ant on the platform' suggests a sense of aimlessness and vulnerability, highlighting the singer's feelings of being lost without the presence of their loved one. This metaphor paints a vivid picture of the emotional state of the protagonist, who is constantly reminded of their partner, even when they are not physically present.

The second verse shifts to a more chaotic scene, where the night brings a sense of wildness and loss of control, 'La noche dio su brillo y comenzó el descontrol.' The mention of adrenaline floating in a cloud of alcohol suggests a night of heavy partying, perhaps as a way to escape or cope with the emotional turmoil. The proposal to go to a hotel, 'Mejor nos vamos a un hotel,' indicates a desire for intimacy and connection, emphasizing that the most important thing is being together, 'Lo importante es estar juntos tu y yo.' This line underscores the central theme of the song: the longing for closeness and the importance of the relationship despite past mistakes.

The repetition of the apology in the chorus reinforces the singer's regret and desire for forgiveness. The constant presence of the loved one in the singer's mind, 'Siempre hay algo en mi mente que te hace estar presente,' suggests an enduring emotional bond. The imagery of seeing the loved one pass behind a star, 'Detrás de aquella estrella, yo te veo pasar,' adds a poetic touch, symbolizing the unattainable or distant nature of the relationship. Overall, 'Descortés' is a heartfelt exploration of love, regret, and the enduring hope for reconciliation.
