Enfermedad de Ti

The song "Enfermedad de Ti" by Andrés Cepeda is a poignant portrayal of unrequited love and emotional dependency. The title itself, which translates to "Sickness of You," sets the tone for a narrative of love that is both consuming and detrimental to the narrator's well-being. The lyrics express a deep longing and an inability to move on from a person who does not reciprocate the same level of affection.

Cepeda uses metaphors of illness and blindness to describe the overwhelming nature of his feelings. The 'sickness' is a metaphor for the uncontrollable desire and need for the other person's presence and love. The 'blindness' suggests a loss of rationality and the inability to see the situation for what it truly is—a one-sided love affair. The repeated lines about being 'serious' about the game of love highlight the contrast between the narrator's deep emotional investment and the playful, perhaps indifferent, attitude of the beloved.

The song also touches on themes of hope and patience, as the narrator acknowledges the futility of his love but still chooses to wait for the beloved, clinging to the slim chance of a change in the beloved's feelings. This aspect of the song speaks to the human condition of clinging to hope even in the face of likely disappointment. Andrés Cepeda's musical style, often characterized by romantic ballads, perfectly complements the song's emotional depth, making it resonate with anyone who has experienced the bittersweet pangs of loving someone who doesn't love them back.
