Lo Que Me Toca

In 'Lo Que Me Toca,' Vicente Fernández delves into the complexities of love and longing, painting a vivid picture of a relationship marked by both passion and pain. The song opens with the difficulty of keeping a loved one close, likening it to the impossible task of eclipsing the sun in summer. This metaphor sets the tone for the emotional struggle that permeates the lyrics, highlighting the transient nature of their connection.

As the song progresses, Fernández describes the intense moments of intimacy, where his partner 'drinks from his skin' and 'from his hand.' These lines evoke a sense of deep physical and emotional connection, yet this pleasure is fleeting, dissipating with the dawn. The imagery of the morning stealing away the night's joy underscores the temporary nature of their happiness, adding a layer of melancholy to the narrative.

The chorus reveals the crux of the singer's torment: knowing that his lover shares her affection with another. This realization drives him 'crazy,' yet he resigns himself to the situation, understanding that what the other man neglects is what he gets to cherish. This acceptance of his role in the love triangle is both heartbreaking and empowering, as he finds solace in the love that comes his way, even if it is not exclusive. Through 'Lo Que Me Toca,' Fernández captures the bittersweet essence of love, where joy and sorrow coexist, and acceptance becomes a form of strength.
