Por Cobardia

Sheyla's song 'Por Cobardía' delves into the deep emotional turmoil of losing a loved one due to one's own cowardice and selfishness. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of regret and sorrow, as the protagonist reflects on their decision to flee from a relationship out of fear. This act of cowardice has left them unhappy and filled with remorse, especially when they see their former lover with someone else. The sight of their ex-partner in the arms of another person causes their soul to crumble, highlighting the depth of their emotional pain.

The song explores the theme of irreplaceability, as the protagonist admits to having thought they could replace their former lover, only to realize that no one else could match the love and connection they once had. This realization is compounded by the acknowledgment that their ex-partner also struggles to forget them, suggesting a mutual, lingering affection. The protagonist's confession that they have never touched another person with the same love underscores the unique and profound bond they shared, which they now deeply miss.

In the chorus, the protagonist's attempt to speak to their former lover is thwarted by their own tears, symbolizing the overwhelming nature of their emotions. The repeated line 'Por cobardía yo me olvidé de amar' (Because of cowardice, I forgot to love) serves as a poignant reminder of the consequences of their actions. The song is a powerful exploration of regret, lost love, and the enduring impact of fear on one's ability to cherish and maintain meaningful relationships.
