El Aprendiz (feat. Pedro Capó)

In 'El Aprendiz,' Samo, featuring Pedro Capó, delves into the complexities of a toxic relationship where love and pain are intertwined. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that has turned sour, with the protagonist lamenting the bitter lessons learned from their partner. The opening lines, 'Tus besos saben tan amargos / Cuando te ensucias los labios / Con mentiras otra vez,' set the tone for a narrative filled with betrayal and emotional turmoil. The protagonist feels that their partner's lies have tainted their love, making their kisses taste bitter.

The chorus, 'Me has enseñado tu / Tu has sido mi maestra / Para hacer sufrir,' reveals the core of the song's message. The protagonist accuses their partner of being the teacher who has taught them how to inflict pain. This metaphor of a teacher and student relationship underscores the idea that the protagonist's cruelty is a learned behavior, a direct result of the emotional wounds inflicted by their partner. The repetition of 'De ti aprendió mi corazón' emphasizes that the heart has learned to be cruel from the very person it once loved.

As the song progresses, the protagonist's resentment becomes more palpable. Lines like 'Maldigo mi inocencia y te maldigo a ti / Maldita la maestra y maldito el aprendiz' express a deep sense of regret and anger. The protagonist curses both their lost innocence and their partner, acknowledging the destructive cycle they are trapped in. The imagery of 'tus manos son cristales rotos / Bajos mis pies' further illustrates the pain and fragility of their relationship. Ultimately, 'El Aprendiz' is a poignant exploration of how love can turn into a source of suffering, and how the lessons learned in a toxic relationship can leave lasting scars.
