Embracing Love Beyond the Gossip in 'Si Te Preguntan'
Rey Ruiz's song 'Si Te Preguntan' delves into the theme of a relationship that is subject to public scrutiny and gossip. The lyrics suggest a scenario where the couple is advised to maintain the appearance of just being friends ('amigo y punto') to avoid the rumors and judgments of others. The song's protagonist instructs his partner on how to respond to inquiries about their relationship, emphasizing that they should downplay their connection to keep others from prying into their personal lives.
The chorus of the song, 'Deja que se imaginen, Que hablen de todo,' which translates to 'Let them imagine, let them talk about everything,' reflects a defiant attitude towards the gossipers. The couple chooses to live their lives on their own terms, disregarding the opinions and stories fabricated by others. This sentiment is reinforced by the line 'Si aprendimos a amarnos, Que importa,' meaning 'If we learned to love each other, what does it matter?' It's a declaration that their love is what truly matters, not the rumors or judgments from the outside world.
The song also touches on the joy and transformation that love can bring, as seen in the lines asking why one appears so happy and changed. The gossip that inevitably follows is met with a sense of indifference and even amusement. The repeated message to 'deja que se imaginen' suggests a strong belief in the power and privacy of their love, which is something that the gossipers will never understand or experience. 'Si Te Preguntan' is a celebration of love that triumphs over the noise of societal expectations and rumors.
