Aferrado

In 'Aferrado,' Tres de Copas delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the relentless pursuit of a seemingly unattainable romantic interest. The song's protagonist finds himself in a surreal state, metaphorically described as being 'between the horns of the moon,' a place he never thought he would reach due to his fear of heights. This imagery sets the stage for the internal conflict and vulnerability he experiences as he chases after a woman who captivates him completely.

The lyrics reveal a dialogue between the protagonist and his inner self, questioning his actions and the pain he endures. He admits that his pursuit is driven by the allure of a woman whose mere glance and confident walk ('tumbao') torment his thoughts. Despite her verbal rejections, her eyes suggest a different story, fueling his determination to win her over. This dichotomy between her words and her eyes creates a sense of hope and confusion, leading him to persist in his efforts despite the emotional toll it takes on him.

The chorus emphasizes his unwavering commitment, as he follows her wherever she goes, ready to offer his heart. The repetition of 'yo voy' (I go) underscores his relentless pursuit and the depth of his feelings. The song captures the essence of being 'aferrado'—clinging desperately to the hope of reciprocated love, even when faced with rejection. The protagonist's journey is a poignant reflection on the complexities of love, desire, and the human tendency to hold on to hope, no matter how slim the chances may be.
