El Psicólogo

Sebastián Yatra's song 'El Psicólogo' delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the desire to transition from a friend to a lover. The song begins with the protagonist expressing his deep admiration for someone whose eyes have captivated him. He is terrified to confess his feelings but decides that today is the day to reveal his emotions. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a specific moment, a night in a club on May 7th, where he noticed the person had been crying, and he made an effort to make them smile. This sets the stage for the emotional depth and sincerity of his feelings.

The chorus of the song is a passionate declaration of love and desire. The protagonist dreams of making love and waking up next to the person he loves, describing it as a dream come true. This intense longing is coupled with the frustration of being seen only as a friend, or 'the psychologist,' who listens and supports but whose romantic feelings are ignored. The song captures the essence of being in love with a friend and the pain of not being able to express those feelings openly.

As the song progresses, the protagonist's patience wears thin, and he decides that he can no longer remain silent. He acknowledges that being patient doesn't mean staying quiet when the heart is screaming to act. The song culminates in a heartfelt confession, where he tells the person that he wants to be more than friends and is tired of being just the psychologist. The raw honesty and vulnerability in the lyrics make 'El Psicólogo' a relatable and touching portrayal of the complexities of love and friendship.
