Cada Quien Con Cada Cual

Ricardo Montaner's song 'Cada Quien Con Cada Cual' delves into the intricate dance of love, desire, and destiny. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship where both partners are deeply intertwined yet maintain their individuality. The opening lines, 'Me besas cuando a ti, te da la gana / te beso cuando a mi me da la gana,' highlight the mutual yet independent nature of their affection. This duality is a recurring theme, emphasizing that love is a shared experience but also a personal journey.

The song further explores the dynamics of control and surrender in a relationship. Lines like 'Haces lo que tú quieres conmigo y / hago lo que yo quiero contigo' suggest a balance of power where both partners have the freedom to express their desires. This balance is crucial for the passionate connection they share, described as making love 'al rojo vivo'—a phrase that evokes intense, fiery passion. The imagery of heaven and hell underscores the extremes of their emotional and physical connection, suggesting that true love encompasses both bliss and turmoil.

Montaner also touches on the serendipitous nature of love with the chorus, 'Cada quien con cada cual / el amor es cosa del destino.' Here, he suggests that love is a matter of fate, a series of fortunate accidents that bring people together. The idea that 'mientras menos parecido / juro, es más igual' implies that differences between partners can actually make their bond stronger. The song concludes with a poignant reflection on the fear of losing this connection, emphasizing the irreplaceable nature of their love. The recurring theme of touch, both physical and emotional, serves as a metaphor for the deeper connection that binds them, making 'Cada Quien Con Cada Cual' a rich exploration of love's complexities.
