Desaires

In 'Desaires,' Rocío Durcal delivers a poignant narrative of unrequited love and the resolve to move on from a one-sided relationship. The song's lyrics are a declaration of the singer's determination to break free from the emotional chains of a love that is not reciprocated. Durcal's powerful voice and emotive delivery amplify the sense of finality and self-empowerment embedded in the lyrics.

The song opens with a firm assurance that the singer will no longer venerate the name of the person they love. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the singer vows to rid themselves of the habit of expressing their love and sorrow to the night and the moon. The metaphor of having 'atole in the veins' suggests that the person they love is emotionally unresponsive, further justifying the singer's decision to stop shedding tears for them.

As the song progresses, the singer resolves to no longer seek the affection of their unresponsive lover. The imagery of raising the sail to catch new winds symbolizes a fresh start and the pursuit of new opportunities. The mention of the guitar mourning and the dislike of crying over 'desaires' (slights or snubs) underscores the emotional toll of unreciprocated love. The repetition of the assurance that 'never again' will they seek this love reinforces the singer's determination to move forward and find peace.

'Rocío Durcal's 'Desaires' is a powerful anthem of self-liberation and emotional resilience. It speaks to anyone who has experienced the pain of unrequited love and the strength it takes to let go and seek a brighter future.
