Si Por Mí Fuera

Beret's song 'Si Por Mí Fuera' is a poignant expression of unrequited love and the lengths one would go to for the person they desire. The lyrics convey a deep sense of longing and the willingness to do anything to be with the loved one. The repeated phrase 'Si por mí fuera,' which translates to 'If it were up to me,' emphasizes the singer's feelings of helplessness and desire to change the situation if only he had the power to do so. The song speaks to the universal experience of wanting someone who may not feel the same way, and the pain that comes with such a one-sided affection.

The narrative of the song unfolds as a story of love that is not reciprocated. The singer describes his admiration for the woman, her uniqueness, and how she stands out from the rest. However, there's a sense of resignation as he acknowledges that she has moved on to someone else, and yet he cannot bring himself to do the same. The metaphor of her being the rain and him going at a trickle pace illustrates the imbalance in their relationship. The lyrics also touch on the idea of wanting to change for someone who doesn't appreciate you as you are, a common theme in tales of unrequited love.

The song also delves into the toxic aspects of this kind of love. The singer compares the woman to a poison that he willingly drinks, indicating a destructive but irresistible attraction. The conflicting emotions of needing someone who is not good for you and the calm that comes with their presence, despite knowing it's not healthy, are powerfully conveyed. The song ends with a series of rhetorical questions that highlight the confusion and frustration of loving someone who treats the relationship like a game, leaving the singer in a state of uncertainty and longing.
