Selena
The Eternal Chill of Heartbreak in 'Siempre Hace Frío'
Selena's song 'Siempre Hace Frío' is a poignant exploration of heartbreak and longing. The lyrics convey a deep sense of sorrow and yearning for a lost love. The opening lines, 'Este corazón que aún te quiere / Ya está muriendo,' set the tone for the entire song, expressing the slow, painful death of a heart still in love. The imagery of the dying light of day further emphasizes the gradual and inevitable decline of hope and happiness in the absence of the beloved.
The repeated plea, 'Adónde estás,' highlights the singer's desperation and confusion, as she searches for her lost love. The lines 'Mátame cielo / Trágame tierra' are powerful metaphors for the overwhelming desire to escape the pain, even if it means death. This intense emotional turmoil is a testament to the depth of her love and the void left by the absence of her partner.
Selena also touches on the theme of inevitable change and the fleeting nature of happiness. She acknowledges that her former lover may find new joys and even a better love, but she warns that 'todo acaba,' or everything ends. The final lines, 'Siempre hace frío,' encapsulate the enduring coldness and emptiness that accompanies a broken heart. This song is a beautiful yet heartbreaking reflection on the enduring pain of lost love and the cold, lonely aftermath that follows.
