Rising Above Envy: The Unstoppable Journey of Wisin & Yandel
In their song "No Fue Golpe de Suerte," Wisin & Yandel delve into themes of resilience, success, and the inevitable envy that accompanies it. The lyrics open with a powerful statement, challenging traditional notions of masculinity by suggesting that it's okay for a man to cry. This sets the tone for a song that is both introspective and defiant, acknowledging the emotional toll of their journey while also celebrating their achievements.
The duo addresses the envy and negativity they face from others, describing it as a 'maldita envidia' (damned envy) that eats people up from the inside. This metaphor highlights the destructive nature of jealousy, not just for those who feel it but also for those who are its targets. Wisin & Yandel assert their confidence and self-awareness, stating that they are conscious of the suffering their success causes others. They emphasize their lack of defects and their unstoppable rise to the stars, suggesting that their talent and hard work are undeniable.
The song also touches on the challenges they faced from competitors who tried to undermine them with 'veneno' (poison). Despite these attempts, Wisin & Yandel turned the situation around, using the adversity to fuel their success. The repeated assertion that their 'voz no falla' (voice does not fail) serves as a powerful reminder of their resilience and unwavering talent. This song is a testament to their journey, marked by both struggle and triumph, and serves as an anthem for anyone facing similar challenges.
