Quise Ser Feliz

Zarcort's song "Yo Quise Ser Feliz" delves deep into the emotional turmoil and existential struggles that many people face. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who once aspired to be happy, to dream, and to smile, but found themselves falling into a pit of despair. The repeated line, "Yo quise ser feliz, soñar despierto y sonreír, y me caí" (I wanted to be happy, to dream awake and smile, and I fell), encapsulates the central theme of the song: the painful gap between our aspirations and the harsh reality that often brings us down.

The song explores various facets of this struggle, such as the loss of one's sense of self and purpose. Lines like "Ya no puedo volar, perdí mis alas" (I can no longer fly, I lost my wings) and "Cuando no reconoces tu figura en el espejo" (When you don't recognize your figure in the mirror) highlight the profound sense of disillusionment and identity crisis. The lyrics also touch on the loneliness and isolation that accompany these feelings, as seen in "Tan Solo, como la soledad que inunda tu corazón" (So alone, like the loneliness that floods your heart).

Despite the overwhelming sense of despair, the song also carries a message of resilience and hope. Zarcort acknowledges the struggles but also emphasizes the importance of perseverance. The lines "Y sé que ahora puedo ser escuchado" (And I know that now I can be heard) and "Porque sé que puedo conseguir lo que proponga" (Because I know I can achieve what I set out to do) serve as a reminder that even in the darkest times, there is a possibility for redemption and success. This duality of despair and hope makes the song a poignant reflection on the human condition.
