Si me quisieras

In 'Si me quisieras,' 1280 Almas delves into themes of unrequited love and the longing for recognition and affection. The song's narrator expresses a deep sense of disappointment and resignation, addressing someone who failed to show their love when it mattered most. The repeated line, 'ay, si me quisieras ya me hubieras traido flores,' underscores the idea that true affection would have manifested in tangible gestures, like bringing flowers, which never happened.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the narrator's emotional state, oscillating between anger and sorrow. The lines 'si vas a venir a llorarme, no quiero enterarme, no quiero saber' suggest a desire to avoid further emotional pain, indicating that the narrator has moved on or is trying to. The imagery of the cemetery and the afterlife, 'entre cruces del cementerio y aprender el misterio, que encierra el lugar,' adds a layer of existential reflection, hinting at the finality of death and the futility of earthly concerns like vanity and materialism.

The song also touches on the idea of clarity and perspective gained from a metaphorical 'subterranean' viewpoint. 'Desde abajo se ven las cosas un poco borrosas, pero asi es mejor' suggests that from a lower, perhaps more humble position, one can see things more clearly, including the flaws of the person they once loved. This perspective shift allows the narrator to find a form of peace and acceptance, even if it is tinged with melancholy.

'If you loved me, you would have brought me flowers' is a poignant refrain that encapsulates the essence of the song: a yearning for love that was never fully realized, and the bittersweet acceptance of that reality.
