Si supieras

In 'Si supieras,' SOLEDAD delves into the complex emotions surrounding a painful farewell. The song's protagonist grapples with the torment of unexpressed love and the guilt that accompanies it. The opening lines, 'Yo no tengo miedo del dolor, sólo siento culpa,' set the tone for a narrative steeped in emotional conflict. The singer prefers to hide their heart, suggesting a fear of vulnerability and the potential consequences of revealing their true feelings. This internal struggle is further emphasized by the repeated plea to avoid questions, indicating that the reasons for the separation are too painful or complicated to articulate.

The chorus, 'sin embargo callo, sin embargo muero,' poignantly captures the essence of silent suffering. The metaphors 'como el mar al cielo, como el aire al fuego' illustrate the deep, elemental need the protagonist feels for their lover, akin to natural forces that are intrinsically connected. Despite this profound need, the singer acknowledges the necessity of saying goodbye, even though it feels like a slow death. The repeated assertion, 'yo sin ti no puedo amor,' underscores the unbearable nature of the separation, highlighting the paradox of needing to let go of someone who is essential to one's existence.

The song's title, 'Si supieras,' which translates to 'If you knew,' encapsulates the unspoken agony that the protagonist endures. The lyrics reveal a deep sense of loss and longing, as well as the pain of unfulfilled dreams and unmet expectations. The final lines, 'y ahora dices que tenerme era tu sueño, que no puedo soportarlo sin tu amor,' add a layer of tragic irony, as the lover's realization comes too late. This poignant narrative of love, loss, and silent suffering resonates deeply, making 'Si supieras' a powerful exploration of the human heart's complexities.
