Yo No Se Qué Voy a Hacer Contigo

Riccardo Perotti's song "Yo No Se Qué Voy a Hacer Contigo" delves deep into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is struggling with intense feelings for a friend. This love has become impossible to hide and uncontrollable, causing the protagonist to feel as if they are wearing a muzzle on their soul. The repeated phrase "Yo no se que voy a hacer contigo" (I don't know what I'm going to do with you) underscores the confusion and helplessness that comes with loving someone who doesn't reciprocate those feelings.

The song explores the pain of being close to someone you love but not being able to express it. The protagonist describes the agony of being near the object of their affection, feeling like they are begging for love like a mendicant. The lyrics also touch on the betrayal of a special friendship, as the protagonist acknowledges that their feelings have changed the dynamic between them. The metaphor of a volcano being ignited by a glance and the delirium caused by the touch of the loved one's skin highlight the intensity of these emotions.

Perotti's heartfelt delivery and the poignant lyrics make this song a powerful exploration of the complexities of love and friendship. The protagonist's desire to be more than just a friend and to experience a deeper connection is palpable throughout the song. The repeated longing for the "heaven" of being with the loved one and the inability to lie or hide these feelings add layers of depth to the narrative. This song resonates with anyone who has ever experienced the pain of unrequited love and the longing for something more.
