Por Lo Que Yo Te Quiero

Walter Olmos's song 'Por Lo Que Yo Te Quiero' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of a secret love affair, where the lovers are unable to publicly acknowledge their relationship. The lyrics poignantly express the pain and frustration of having to hide one's feelings and the exhaustion that comes with maintaining such a facade. The repeated line, 'No sabes, lo que es, tener que andar asi,' which translates to 'You don't know what it's like to have to walk like this,' sets the tone for a narrative of hidden emotions and stolen moments.

The chorus, 'Por lo que yo te quiero, tendre que acostumbrarme a no tenerte aqui,' which means 'Because of how much I love you, I will have to get used to not having you here,' captures the essence of the song's conflict. The lovers are caught in a dilemma between their feelings and societal expectations or personal circumstances that prevent them from being together. This internal conflict is further emphasized by the mention of 'tragandome tu amor' or 'swallowing your love,' suggesting a suppression of true feelings that is both painful and necessary under the circumstances.

The song also touches on broader themes of truth and deception in relationships. The line 'al juego de la mentira, maldita comodidad' or 'the game of lying, cursed comfort,' criticizes the ease with which people settle into lives of dishonesty to avoid the complications of truth. Olmos uses this narrative to challenge listeners to consider the value of authenticity and courage in love, even when it leads to difficult choices.
