¿Qué Pasó Mi Amor?

Sabino's song ¿Qué Pasó Mi Amor? delves into the emotional turmoil of a relationship that has become one-sided. The lyrics express the protagonist's realization that he has lost himself in the process of trying to please his partner. The opening lines set the scene of a man rehearsing his breakup speech, indicating the gravity of the decision he's about to make. He adores his partner immensely, yet he understands that for his own well-being, he must end the relationship.

The song continues to explore the imbalance in the relationship. The protagonist feels that he has been taken for granted, his needs and desires sidelined. He describes wearing a metaphorical mask to appear as the perfect partner, which has become a burden to him. The repeated chorus, 'Todo bien, todo bien, pero,' followed by 'Si te dejo es porque te quiero, pero también me quiero,' captures the essence of the song. It's a declaration that while he still loves his partner, he must prioritize his own self-love and happiness.

The emotional weight of the song is further amplified by the protagonist's nostalgia for the early days of the relationship when mutual care and interest were present. The repeated question, '¿Qué pasó, mi amor?' reflects his confusion and longing for the past, acknowledging that while he still holds his partner in high regard, the dynamic has changed. The song ends with a bittersweet acceptance that to love someone else properly, one must first love oneself.
