Corazon de Fuego

Wichy Camacho's song "Corazon de Fuego" delves deep into the emotional turmoil of love and loss. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man struggling to forget a past love that continues to haunt him. The opening lines set the stage for this emotional journey, as the protagonist grapples with memories that refuse to fade. The imagery of feeling her presence and seeing her as a 'mujer fatal' in a photograph underscores the intensity of his longing and the pain of his unfulfilled desires.

The recurring phrase "CORAZÓN DE FUEGO" (Heart of Fire) serves as a powerful metaphor for the burning passion and agony that the protagonist feels. This fiery heart symbolizes both the intensity of his love and the searing pain of his loss. The lyrics explore the dichotomy of love and suffering, as the protagonist questions how to believe in the possibility of happiness (the sky) despite the overwhelming pain (the hell) he endures. The mention of another woman's name clinging to his skin suggests a futile attempt to move on, yet he remains alive out of fear of facing the emptiness of death.

The song's chorus emphasizes the inevitability of love and loss, with the protagonist resigning himself to the rules of the game. He acknowledges that to love is to risk losing, and he surrenders to this reality without justification or condition. The repeated plea for his heart to keep beating, despite the pain, highlights his resilience and determination to endure. The closing lines, where he continues to feel the heartbeat and vibrate with emotion, suggest that even in the face of heartache, the essence of love remains a powerful and life-affirming force.
