Apesar De Todo

Pepe Aguilar's song 'A pesar de todo' delves into the complexities of a forbidden love that continues to haunt the narrator despite the passage of time. The lyrics express a deep sense of regret and longing, as the narrator reflects on the pain and suffering endured due to the loss of a significant other. The phrase 'Todavia te amo y no paro un minuto no te pude olvidar' (I still love you and haven't been able to forget you for a minute) encapsulates the enduring nature of this love, highlighting the emotional turmoil that persists even after the relationship has ended.

The song also touches on the clandestine nature of the relationship, emphasizing that their love was 'siempre estuvo prohibido' (always forbidden) and had to be kept hidden to avoid causing pain to their respective partners. This secrecy adds a layer of complexity and guilt to the narrator's feelings, as they grapple with the moral implications of their actions. The line 'Para no hacer sufrir a quien vive conmigo' (to not make the one who lives with me suffer) underscores the sacrifices made to protect others, even at the cost of their own happiness.

Despite the challenges and the eventual end of the relationship, the narrator cherishes the memories of their time together, describing it as 'la cosa mas linda que a mi me sucedio' (the most beautiful thing that happened to me). This bittersweet sentiment captures the essence of the song, portraying a love that, although fraught with difficulties and ultimately unsustainable, remains a cherished and unforgettable part of the narrator's life.
