KARMA

Salomé Camargo's song "KARMA" is a powerful anthem of empowerment and justice. The lyrics tell the story of a woman who has been wronged in a relationship, where her partner's love was insincere and devoid of genuine affection. The protagonist reflects on the emotional labor she invested, only to be met with deceit and neglect. The phrase "No hiciste nada para enamorarme no fue mentira" highlights the initial realization that the love she received was never real, setting the tone for the rest of the song.

The concept of karma is central to the song, serving as a form of poetic justice. The protagonist wishes for life to repay her ex-partner for the pain he caused, as expressed in the lines "Que la vida te cobre lo que yo nunca pude." This desire for karmic retribution is not just about personal vengeance but also about a broader sense of justice for all the women who have been similarly wronged. The repeated refrain "Por que el karma te lo va hacer saber" underscores the inevitability of this cosmic payback, suggesting that her ex-partner will eventually understand the pain he inflicted.

The song also explores themes of self-worth and moving on. The protagonist declares her independence and newfound happiness, stating that she no longer needs her ex-partner and has found someone better. Lines like "Ya no me hace falta no le tengo ganas" and "Ya hay otro que le gana" emphasize her growth and the realization that she deserves better. This transformation from a place of hurt to one of empowerment is a key element of the song, making it a resonant anthem for anyone who has experienced betrayal and emerged stronger.
