Llorando

Son De Cali's song 'Llorando' delves into the emotional turmoil of a man who has been wronged by his lover. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of betrayal and the subsequent regret that follows. The protagonist expresses his confusion and pain, emphasizing that he had always treated his lover with kindness and provided everything she needed. Despite his efforts, she left him for another, only to return later, crying and seeking forgiveness.

The song's chorus, 'Regreso llorando... Llorando,' highlights the lover's return in tears, begging for another chance. However, the protagonist is resolute in his decision not to take her back. He uses metaphors like a leaking roof and a runaway dog to illustrate the futility of trying to fix something that is irreparably broken. These metaphors underscore the finality of his decision and the depth of his hurt.

'Llorando' also touches on themes of self-respect and moving on. The protagonist questions why his former lover is crying now and why she claims to adore him after causing so much pain. He acknowledges that her time has passed and that he cannot love her again. This sentiment is encapsulated in the repeated line, 'Pa que me llora ahora,' which translates to 'Why cry now?' The song ultimately conveys a message of self-worth and the importance of not allowing oneself to be mistreated repeatedly.
