Ojala

Paulina Rubio's song 'Ojala' is a powerful expression of heartbreak and the desire for retribution. The lyrics are filled with raw emotion, capturing the pain and anger of someone who has been deeply wronged by a lover. The song opens with a strong statement, 'Quiero que te arrastres guey,' which translates to 'I want you to crawl, idiot.' This sets the tone for the rest of the song, where Rubio does not hold back in expressing her disdain and disappointment.

The verses delve into the character of the person who has caused her so much pain. Rubio uses vivid imagery and metaphors to describe this individual, stating that there isn't even a word in the dictionary to accurately capture their essence. She goes on to say that their actions are so despicable that they don't deserve to be spoken of, and that they have lost their only virtue by making her unhappy. This paints a picture of someone who has not only betrayed her but has also shown a complete lack of remorse or decency.

The chorus is a wish for the person to experience the same kind of suffering they have inflicted. Rubio hopes that the sun forgets them for a few days, leaving them in a cold melancholy that makes it hard to breathe. She also wishes for them to find someone who will forgive them on her behalf, only to betray them in turn. This cyclical wish for betrayal highlights the depth of her hurt and the desire for the person to understand the pain they have caused. The repetition of 'Ojala' (hopefully) throughout the song emphasizes her longing for these wishes to come true, making it a poignant anthem of heartbreak and revenge.
