Una y Mil Veces (part. Omar Montes)

C. Tangana's song 'Una y Mil Veces,' featuring Omar Montes, delves into the emotional turmoil of trying to break free from a toxic relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the protagonist's internal conflict, as he repeatedly promises himself to leave but finds it incredibly challenging to do so. The repetition of 'me prometí no volver a caer en ti' (I promised myself not to fall for you again) underscores the cyclical nature of his struggle, highlighting the difficulty of breaking free from emotional bonds that have been deeply ingrained over time.

The song's setting in Madrid adds a layer of cultural context, as the protagonist roams the city's streets, seeking solace and happiness away from the relationship that has caused him so much pain. The reference to 'más de cien lunas' (more than a hundred moons) suggests a long period of suffering and attempts to move on, emphasizing the endurance required to overcome such a profound emotional attachment. The imagery of 'cerré mis maletas y volé a contarle al viento' (I packed my bags and flew to tell the wind) symbolizes a desperate attempt to find freedom and peace, even if it means starting anew.

The collaboration with Omar Montes adds a dynamic layer to the song, as both artists share their perspectives on the struggle of letting go. The repeated lines 'yo le prometí a mi madre que esta noche iba a dejarte' (I promised my mother that tonight I would leave you) highlight the protagonist's sense of duty and the pressure to fulfill promises made to loved ones. However, the admission that 'tu veneno está en mi sangre' (your poison is in my blood) reveals the deep-rooted nature of the relationship's impact, making it clear that breaking free is not just a physical act but an emotional and psychological battle.
