De Haber Sabido

In 'De Haber Sabido,' Rosario Alfonso delves into the theme of regret and the painful realization that some efforts are futile. The song's repetitive structure emphasizes the singer's deep sense of remorse for having tried to fix something that was ultimately unfixable. The phrase 'De haber sabido como resultó' (If I had known how it would turn out) is a poignant reflection on hindsight and the wish to have avoided the pain and effort invested in a doomed situation.

The lyrics reveal a journey of self-awareness and acceptance of one's mistakes. Alfonso admits to being ignorant or innocent, perhaps even indecent, in her attempts to mend the relationship. This acknowledgment of her naivety and the futility of her actions is a powerful moment of vulnerability. The line 'Yo no sabía, como sería, tu mundo raro' (I didn't know how your strange world would be) suggests a disconnect and a lack of understanding of the other person's reality, which contributed to the failure of their efforts.

The song also touches on themes of pride and resilience. Despite the regret, Alfonso asserts her desire to win and her refusal to go back. 'Yo tengo mi orgullo, que quede claro, no volveré atrás' (I have my pride, let it be clear, I won't go back) highlights a determination to move forward and not repeat past mistakes. The final lines, where she expresses that she wouldn't have even participated or tried if she had known the outcome, encapsulate the essence of the song: a lament for wasted effort and a resolve to learn from the experience.
