Late Corazon

“Late Corazon” by Somos Tu Y Yo is a heartfelt exploration of the intense emotions that come with unrequited love. The song's repetitive and rhythmic lyrics mimic the relentless beating of a heart, symbolizing the protagonist's unwavering feelings for someone who has yet to reciprocate. The phrase “late late corazon” (beat, beat heart) is a constant reminder of the protagonist's emotional state, driven by love and longing.

The lyrics delve into the confusion and transformation that love brings. The protagonist describes a sense of emptiness that is only filled when the object of their affection is near. This person’s presence causes their heart to beat uncontrollably, a metaphor for the overwhelming emotions that love can evoke. The repeated line “escucha lo que sient late y late siempre” (listen to what it feels, it beats and beats always) emphasizes the persistence of these feelings, suggesting that the protagonist's love is enduring and unyielding.

The song also touches on the hope and desperation that often accompany unrequited love. The protagonist's heart beats “sin control” (without control) and “sin parar” (without stopping), highlighting the uncontrollable nature of their emotions. Despite the lack of reciprocation, there is a glimmer of hope as they wait for the other person to notice them. The lyrics “solo espera a que te fijes en mi” (just wait for you to notice me) encapsulate this longing and the desire for their love to be acknowledged.

“Late Corazon” is a poignant portrayal of the highs and lows of unrequited love, capturing the essence of longing, hope, and the relentless beat of a heart in love.
