Qué Nos Pasó

Son De Cali's song "Qué Nos Pasó" delves into the painful realization of a love that has faded away. The lyrics poignantly capture the confusion and sorrow that accompany the end of a relationship. The song begins with the acknowledgment that something has gone wrong, but the exact moment or reason for the change is unclear. The once sweet kisses have turned bitter, symbolizing the transformation of their love from something beautiful to something that now causes pain and discomfort.

The chorus reflects on the paradox of love that hurts despite mutual affection. The lines "Porque me amas como te amo, pero querernos nos hace daño" highlight the complexity of their emotions. They still love each other, but being together has become harmful. This contradiction is a common theme in relationships where love alone is not enough to sustain the bond. The song suggests that sometimes, despite the best intentions and deep feelings, love can still lead to suffering.

The lyrics also explore the idea of reflection and the desire to understand what went wrong. The repeated calls to talk for an hour and cry for another hour indicate a longing to reconnect and perhaps find closure. The mention of divine intervention, "Y si dios nos cambia el corazón," suggests a hope for a miraculous change that could restore their lost love. However, the song ultimately acknowledges that the relationship has ended, and despite their efforts, the love they once shared has died. The final lines, "Yo te quiero, tu me quieres, pero ya se terminó," encapsulate the bittersweet acceptance of the end of their love story.
