Y COMO ES ÉL

Rayito Colombiano's song 'Y COMO ES ÉL' delves into the raw emotions of heartbreak, jealousy, and curiosity. The lyrics are a poignant exploration of a man's feelings as he confronts his partner about her new lover. The song opens with a sense of resignation, as the narrator looks into his partner's eyes and realizes that there is nothing left to say. He urges her to speak up, fearing that tomorrow might be too late, indicating a sense of urgency and desperation in his plea.

The chorus is a series of questions directed at the woman about her new lover. The narrator wants to know everything about this man who has stolen a piece of his life. The questions—'And how is he? In what place did he fall in love with you? Where is he from? What does he do in his free time?'—reflect a deep sense of curiosity and a need for closure. The repeated line 'he is a thief who has stolen everything from me' underscores the narrator's feeling of loss and betrayal.

The song also touches on the narrator's concern for his partner's well-being. He advises her to dress warmly and smile so that her new lover does not suspect that she has been crying. This shows a lingering care and affection, even amidst the pain. The song's emotional depth is further highlighted by the narrator's apology for asking another question, indicating his awareness of the delicate situation. 'Y COMO ES ÉL' is a powerful portrayal of the complexities of love, loss, and the human need for understanding and closure.
