Despreocúpate

In 'Despreocúpate,' Yo Soy Roki delves into the complex emotions of unrequited love and the painful process of letting go. The song's title, which translates to 'Don't Worry,' sets the tone for a narrative where the protagonist tries to mask his heartbreak with a facade of indifference. He acknowledges that the fault lies with him for ignoring the signs and allowing himself to become the 'other man' in the woman's life. This admission of guilt is a poignant moment, revealing his deep self-awareness and vulnerability.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man grappling with envy and longing. He envies the other man who has won the woman's heart, yet he wishes her happiness above all else. This internal conflict is palpable as he admits to dying of jealousy but still hopes for her well-being. The metaphor of giving her his world while the other man 'brought her the sky' underscores the depth of his feelings and the sense of inadequacy he feels. Despite his pain, he asks her to inquire with God about who loved her the most, confident that his name will be the answer. This request is a testament to his enduring love and the emotional turmoil he endures.

The song's refrain, 'Me tengo que ir,' meaning 'I have to go,' signifies his reluctant acceptance of the situation. He resolves to move on, even though it breaks his heart. The repeated assurance for her to 'despreocúpate' and remain calm while he continues to smile through the pain highlights his selfless love. He has learned that love, for him, is a 'simple story without a happy ending,' yet he harbors no resentment. His plea for her not to return to his life is a final act of self-preservation, marking the end of a bittersweet chapter.
