Ayer Me Contaron

Chava Flores' song 'Ayer Me Contaron' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of discovering a lover's betrayal. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the protagonist's suffering upon learning about their partner's infidelity. The opening lines, 'Lo que ahora sufro no lo había sufrido, ayer me contaron lo que tú me has hecho,' set the stage for a narrative of heartbreak and disillusionment. The protagonist's pain is not just from the betrayal itself but from the shattering of trust and the loss of a cherished relationship.

The song's emotional core is encapsulated in the lines, 'No han sido tus actos ni lo sucedido lo que me ha dejado el juicio deshecho; tampoco pretendas que ha sido el despecho: ha sido la pena de haberte perdido.' Here, Flores emphasizes that the true agony lies not in the deceit but in the profound sense of loss. The protagonist mourns the end of a love that once brought immense joy and fulfillment. This sentiment is further amplified by the repeated curses directed at those who revealed the betrayal, '¡Malditos mil veces por ir pregonando! ¡Malditos mil veces, pues ya me prohibieron la dicha infinita de seguirte amando!'
