Bella

RUGGERO's song 'Bella' is a heartfelt exploration of unrequited love and the lingering memories of a past relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and nostalgia as the protagonist reflects on a love that has slipped through his fingers. The song opens with a greeting, indicating that it's been a while since the two have communicated, and the protagonist hopes that the other person is happy. This sets the tone for a bittersweet narrative where the protagonist reveals his enduring feelings despite the passage of time.

The chorus emphasizes the beauty of the person he loves, noting that she has always been beautiful since their school days. He had hoped she would be his 'doncella' (maiden), but she chose to be with someone else. This decision was made on her terms, leaving the protagonist feeling rejected and heartbroken. The repetition of 'no fui yo' (it wasn't me) underscores his sense of loss and the realization that he was not the one she chose.

Throughout the song, the protagonist admits that he has never moved on. He continues to follow her, both physically and emotionally, unable to accept the end of their relationship. The memories of their time together, from their kisses to intimate moments, haunt him as he walks through the city. The refrain 'ya nada es igual' (nothing is the same) poignantly captures the emptiness he feels in her absence. RUGGERO's emotive delivery and the melancholic melody enhance the song's theme of enduring love and the pain of unfulfilled desires.
